\n" ); document.write( "300gm container mixture of nuts contains \"+highlight_green%28x%29\"peanuts and \"+highlight_green%28300-x%29+\"cashews in the ratio of 5 : 1
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2F%28300-x%29=+5%2F1\" | Cross Multiplying to solve
\n" ); document.write( " x = 1500 - 5x
\n" ); document.write( " 6x = 1500
\n" ); document.write( " x = 250gm peanuts and 50gm cashews
