You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let n be the amount of 95% juice. Then the amount of 65% juice is 80-n. So:
\n" ); document.write( ".95n+.45(80-n)=.65(80)
\n" ); document.write( ".5n+36=52
\n" ); document.write( ".5n=16
\n" ); document.write( "n=32
\n" ); document.write( "You need 32 pints of 95% juice, and 48 pints of 45% juice. ☺☺☺☺
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
