Table or Chart? Creating one would seem more trouble than needed. Maybe try to understand this as a uniform rates situation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"PRICE%2AQUANTITY=COST\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"PRICE=COST%2FQUANTITY\"
\n" ); document.write( "Cost does not appear in the description; only prices and quantities. Cost will need to be included and the person analyzing the problem should include cost.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "               Price        Qty     COST\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Spanish         84           x      84x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Virginia        71          40      71*40\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Mixture         79         x+40     84x+71*40\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Now, use the basic formula relating price, quantity and cost. The expressions and numbers are shown in the Mixture row.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28%2884x%2B71%2A40%29%2F%28x%2B40%29=79%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for x. That is the quantity of Spanish Peanuts to use for making the needed mixture price. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
