\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x = the amount of $4.30 candy (in pounds).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the amount of  $9.10 candy to mix with is, OBVIOUSLY, (43.2-x) pounds.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then your \"money\" equation is\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "4.30*x + 9.10*(43.2-x) = 8.10*43.2    dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The setup is completed.  Now you should solve the equation to get x.\r\n" );
