L = 13.5%
\n" ); document.write( "T = 50.5%
\n" ); document.write( "H = 72%
\n" ); document.write( "M = 70 grams
\n" ); document.write( "p=unknown amount of the H % material
\n" ); document.write( "M-p the amount of the L % material\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"Hp%2BL%28M-p%29=MT\"
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "\"Hp-Lp%2BML=MT\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28H-L%29p=MT-ML\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"p=%28MT-ML%29%2F%28H-L%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28p=M%28%28T-L%29%2F%28H-L%29%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the given values and evaluate p and M-p.
