\n" ); document.write( "---------------- percent ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "Solution I 20% ---------------- x L
\n" ); document.write( "Solution II 60% ---------------- 80 - x L
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 30.00% ---------------- 80\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "component percent ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "Solution I 0.2 ---------------- x L
\n" ); document.write( "Solution II 0.6 ---------------- 80 - x L
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 0.30 ---------------- 80
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "0.2 x + 0.6 ( 80 - x ) = 80.00 * 0.30
