\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "45% of 250 = 0.45*250 = 112.5 grams
\n" ); document.write( "If that's 10%, then 100% = 1125 grams.
\n" ); document.write( "1125 - 250 = 875 grams of water added.
\n" ); document.write( "==================
\n" ); document.write( "Add W grams of water.
\n" ); document.write( "45*250 + W*0 = 10*(250 + W)
\n" ); document.write( "11250 = 2500 + 10W
\n" ); document.write( "W = 875 grams
