\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "write an equation in terms of percent cocoa
\n" ); document.write( ".03(20) = .015(x+20)
\n" ); document.write( ".6 = .015x + .3
\n" ); document.write( ".6 - .3 = .015x
\n" ); document.write( ".3 = .015x
\n" ); document.write( "x = .3/.015
\n" ); document.write( "x = 20 oz of water added
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The original AMT of cocoa is unchanged
\n" ); document.write( ".03(20) = .6 oz is the original amt of cocoa
\n" ); document.write( "Check the percent
\n" ); document.write( ".6/20 = .03 Johns
\n" ); document.write( ".6/40 = .015 Jims
\n" ); document.write( "
