Alan has 30 ounces of a 40% sugar solution. How much sugar should he add to make it a 45% solution?
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "sugar + sugar = sugar
\n" ); document.write( "0.40*30 + 1*x = 0.45(30+x)
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "40*30 + 100x = 45*30 + 45x
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "55x = 5*30
\n" ); document.write( "x = (1/11)30
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2.7273 ounces (amt. pure sugar to add)
