document.write( "SOLUTION     PERCENT CONC      VOLUME      PURE ALC.(in milliliters)\r\n" );
document.write( "   A            16              b-400      0.16(b-400)\r\n" );
document.write( "   B            20               b         0.2b\r\n" );
document.write( " Mxture                                   152\r\n" );
