Same problem, different numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "How many liters of a 65% acid solution must be mixed with 10% acid solution to get 320 liters of a 30% acid solution?
\n" ); document.write( " ---------------
\n" ); document.write( " s = amount of 65%
\n" ); document.write( " t = amount of 10%
\n" ); document.write( " ---
\n" ); document.write( " s + t = 320 (total solution)
\n" ); document.write( " 65s + 10t = 320*30 (total acid)
\n" ); document.write( " ==========
\n" ); document.write( " s + t = 320 --> t = 320 - s
\n" ); document.write( " 65s + 10t = 320*30 = 9600
\n" ); document.write( " Sub for t
\n" ); document.write( " 65s + 10(320-s) = 9600
\n" ); document.write( " 75s + 3200 = 9600
\n" ); document.write( " s = 6400/75
\n" ); document.write( " s = 256/3 liters
\n" ); document.write( " t = 704/3 liters
\n" ); document.write( "
