Brand C sells 21g bags of chocolate that contain 29% saturated
\n" ); document.write( "fats. To make their product they combine Brand A chocolate which
\n" ); document.write( "contains 35% saturated fats and Brand B chocolate which contains
\n" ); document.write( "25% saturated fats. To obtain one bag of chocolate brand C, how
\n" ); document.write( "much of A and B do they need to use?
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "fat + fat = fat
\n" ); document.write( "0.35x + 0.25(21-x) = 0.29*21
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "35x + 25*21 - 25x = 29*21
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "10x = 4*21
\n" ); document.write( "x = (2/5)(21
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8.8 grams (amt. of 35% product needed)
\n" ); document.write( "21-8.8 = 12.2 grams (amt. of 25% product needed)
