How do I calculate the amount of 3 Fluids, where 2 are a percentage of the first?

29 Views Asked by At

I have 3 Fluids:

  • Base
  • Flavor1
  • Flavor2

The target is to have 50 ml of overall produce, where 10% are Flavor1 and 5% are Flavor2. If I just calculate it off the 50 ml, I end up with 57.5 ml, which is not how this is supposed to work.

How do I calculate how much I need of each fluid?

According to your clarification, you want something like: $$y=0.1x\\ z=0.05x\\ x+y+z=50\\ 1.15x=50$$

Outside of that, it would be $$y=(0.1)(50)\\ z=(0.05)(50)\\ x+y+z=50$$
