percent ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "Hamburger I 19.00% ---------------- x lb
\n" ); document.write( "Hamburger II 11.00% ------ 80 - x lb
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 13.00% ---------------- 80
\n" ); document.write( "Total 80 lb
\n" ); document.write( "19.00% x + 11.00% ( 80 - x ) = 13.00% * 80
\n" ); document.write( "19 x + 11 ( 80 - x ) = 1040
\n" ); document.write( "19 x + 880 - 11 x = 1040
\n" ); document.write( "19 x - 11 x = 1040 - -880
\n" ); document.write( "8 x = 160
\n" ); document.write( "/ 8
\n" ); document.write( " x = 20 lb 19.00% Hamburger I
\n" ); document.write( " 60 lb 11.00% Hamburger II
