Using the method of alligation,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let CH=0.75 and S=0.85\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then 0.76-075=0.1 and 0.85-0.76=0.09\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So that CH/S=0.09/0.1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thus, there are 0.09 parts of cherry-flavored solution for every 0.1 parts of mixture\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If there are 20 parts of mixture, then (0.09/0.10)(20)=18 gallons of cherry-flavored solution (Answer)
