Let amount of 1% solution to mix, be S
\n" );
document.write( "Then we get: .01S + .4(100) = .16(S + 100)
\n" );
document.write( ".01S + .4(100) = .16S + .16(100)
\n" );
document.write( ".4(100) - .16(100) = .16S - .01S
\n" );
document.write( ".24(100) = .15S
\n" );
document.write( "Amount of 1% solution needed, or  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
