We have 11 oz of 30% alcohol
\n" ); document.write( "We want to add some 25% alcohol to make 26% alcohol
\n" ); document.write( "0.25*x+0.3*11=0.26(11+x)
\n" ); document.write( "0.25*x+3.3=2.86+0.26x
\n" ); document.write( "0.25x-0.26x=2.86-3.3
\n" ); document.write( "-0.01x=-0.44
\n" ); document.write( "x=44 oz at 25% (11) is added to 11 oz at 30%(3.3) to make 26% of 55 oz(14.3)
\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( "0.25*44+0.3*11=0.26(11+44)
\n" ); document.write( "11+3.3=0.26(55)
\n" ); document.write( "14.3=14.3
\n" ); document.write( "ok
