.9X+.75(40-X)=40*.78
\n" ); document.write( ".9X+30-.75X=31.2
\n" ); document.write( ".15X=31.2-30
\n" ); document.write( ".15X=1.2
\n" ); document.write( "X=1.2/.15
\n" ); document.write( "X=8L OF 90% IS NEEDED.
\n" ); document.write( "40-8=32L OF 75% IS NEEDED.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF
\n" ); document.write( ".9*8+.75*32=40*.78
\n" ); document.write( "7.2+24=31.2
