1.1 pounds of salt and 4.42 pounds of water gives you a total of 5.52 pounds of mixture.
\n" ); document.write( "the ratio of salt to total mixture is 1.1 / 5.52.
\n" ); document.write( "the percent of salt to total mixture is the ratio * 100.
\n" ); document.write( "1.1/5.52 = a ratio of .1992753623 and a percent of 19.92753623.\r
