Assuming percent is weight per weight and \"oz\" is $\"1%2F16\"$ of a pound, \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let x = how many ounces of water to add;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"80%2A35%2F%2880%2Bx%29=14\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"80%2A35=14%28x%2B80%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"14x%2B14%2A80=80%2A35\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"14x=80%2A35-80%2A14\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"14x=80%2835-14%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"14x=80%2A21\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=40%2A3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=120%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
