In words:
\n" ); document.write( "[ Cost of mixture ] =
\n" ); document.write( "[ cost/L of apple ]x[ L of apple ] + [ cost/L of cranberry ]x[ L of cranberry ]
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+C+\"$ = total cost of mixture )
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+C+=+450%2A8+%2B+108%2A10+\"$ ( in cents )
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+C+=+3600+%2B+1080+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+C+=+4680+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "[ Cost/L of mixture ] = [ C ] / [ L of mixture ]
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4680+%2F+%28+8+%2B+10+%29+=+4680+%2F+18+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4680+%2F+18+=+260+\"$ ( in cents )
\n" ); document.write( "The cost/L of the mixture should be $2.60\r
