\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let name x the answer\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "total cost is 0.6x+0.35(300)
\n" ); document.write( "and total pounds are x+300\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then (0.6x+105)/x+300 =0.5
\n" ); document.write( "then 0.6x+105=0.5x+150
\n" ); document.write( "then 0.1x+105=150
\n" ); document.write( "then 0.1x=45
\n" ); document.write( "then x=450 \n" ); document.write( "
