\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The almonds were 3 dollars per pound.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The cashews price was \"3%2A1.7=5.10\" dollars per pound.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Almonds: 9 pounds, 3$/pound
\n" ); document.write( "Cashews: x pounds, 5.1$/pound
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture: x+9 pounds, 4$/pound\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%289%2A3%2B5.1x%29%2F%28x%2B9%29=4\"-----You first want to know how much cashews used before answering the question about the percents.
