component percent ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "Acid type I 0.35 ---------------- x ounce
\n" ); document.write( "Acid type II 0.6 ---------------- 40 - x ounce
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 0.50 ---------------- 40
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "0.35 x + 0.6 ( 40 - x ) = 40.00 * 0.50
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "0.35 x + 24 - 0.6 x = 20.00
\n" ); document.write( "0.35 x - 0.6 x = 20 - 24
\n" ); document.write( "-0.25 x = -4
\n" ); document.write( "/ -0.25
\n" ); document.write( " x = 16
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "35.00% Acid type I 16 ounce
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "60.00% Acid type II 24 ounce
\n" ); document.write( "
