amount of metal: 200, concentration: 69%
\n" ); document.write( "amount at 75% iron: x
\n" ); document.write( "amount at 60% iron: 200 - x
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n" ); document.write( "0.75x + 0.60(200 - x) = 0.69(200)
\n" ); document.write( "0.75x + 120 - 0.60x = 138
\n" ); document.write( "0.15x = 18
\n" ); document.write( "x = 120
\n" ); document.write( "You need 120 kg of 75% and 200-120 = 80 kg of 60%
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
