Let $\"+x+\"$ = the concentration of the new mixture
\n" ); document.write( "as a decimal
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+.02%2A5+%2B+.66%2A11+%29+%2F+%28+5+%2B+11+%29+=+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+.1+%2B+7.26+%29+%2F+16+=+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7.36+%2F+16+=+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+.46+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The concentration of the new mixture is 46% \n" ); document.write( "
