You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = grams of 30% cream/base = grams of 70% base/cream
y = grams of base
---
z = grams of 10% cream/base = grams of 90% base/cream
---
x + y = 180
0.70x + 1.00y = 0.90*180
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 180
0.70x + 1.00y = 162
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
