Dried Apple, $5.2 per pound\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Dried Apricots, $7.2 per pound\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The mixture target, $6.6 per pound\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The question:
\n" ); document.write( "How many pounds of each for 30 pounds to sell at $6.6 per POUND?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If A pounds of the apricot, then 30-A pounds of the apple\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"7.2A%2B5.2%2830-A%29=6.6%2A30\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"7.2A-5.2A%2B5.2%2A30=6.6%2A30\"\r
