You DON'T need to write a NOVEL, and go through complex calculations as the other person did. Unless of course, 
\n" );
document.write( "you're asked to form equations and solve for the initial amount of 15% solution.\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Having said that, 15% down to 10% results in a 5% reduction, and 5% up to 10% results in a 5% increase.
\n" );
document.write( "Since the reduction and increase in percentages are the same, then EQUAL amounts were INITIALLY mixed, so . \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
