Let the gold coin's weight be represented by C.
\n" ); document.write( "You are told the coin is 56% gold. That gold is then melted with 7g of pure gold. So how much many grams does the coin weigh if the total at the end is 67% gold by weight?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28C%2A0.56%29+%2B+%287%2A1%29+=+%287%2BC%29%2A+0.67\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.56C+%2B+7+=+%287%2A0.67%29+%2B+0.67C\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7+-+%287%2A0.67%29+=+0.67C+-+0.56C\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7+-+4.69+=+0.11C\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2.31%2F0.11+=+C\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"21=C\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the original coin weighs 21 grams
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
