\"+.26%2A5+=+1.3+\" ounces of clay in 26% soil
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.14%2A6+=+.84+\" ounces of clay in 14% soil
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1.3+%2B+.84+=+2.14+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The mixture has 2.14 ounces of clay
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "They want the % sugar in the cranberry
\n" ); document.write( "mixture
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+x+\" = liters of sugar in the cranberry juice
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.5%2A13+=+6.5+\" liters of sugar in apple juice
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+x+%2B+6.5+%29+%2F+%28+10+%2B+13+%29+=+.42+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+6.5+=+.42%2A23+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+9.66+-+6.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+3.16+\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "What you want is ( liters of sugar in cranberry ) / ( liters of cranberry )
\n" ); document.write( "multiplied by \"+100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+3.16+%2F+10+%29%2A100+=+31.6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "31.6% sugar in cranberry juice
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+x+%2B+6.5+%29+%2F+%28+10+%2B+13+%29+=+.42+\"
