Letting x equal the number of ounces of soy sauce added to the mixture, 18 +x equals the
total mount of the mixture after the soy sauce is added. The amount of peanut sauce (5.76ounces) must
equal 12% of the new total amount of the mixture, which is 18 +x. You can express this as an algebraic
equation and solve for x:+

3 0 ounces of soy sauce must be addedto achieve a mixture that includes 12% peanut sauce.

Q percent is based on $100. Therefore, Q percent = Q dollars, and Quantity B will always be
$ 1 less than Quantity A.
