\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Weight Eq:: w + c = 25 lbs
\n" ); document.write( "Value Eq:: 4.1w + 4.9c = 4.4*25
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "41w + 41c = 41*25
\n" ); document.write( "41w + 49c = 44*25
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"c\":
\n" ); document.write( "8c = 3*25
\n" ); document.write( "c = 75/8 = 9.375 lb (amt. of black chocolate to use)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "w = 25 - 9.375 = 15.625 lb (amt. of white chocolate to use)
