Need help with backwards calculating a recipe

[GMayberry]

My high school and college math are eluding me tonight. I made a 10 ml bottle of juice last week and have made a few adjustments to get it right, now I am having trouble calculating the new percentages. Can someone help??

original:
3 ml nic (30%)
5.8 ml veg blend (58%)
1.2 ml strawberry (12%)

adjustments:
added 1.7 ml strawberry
added .2 ml vanilla swirl
added .2 ml toasted marshmallow

Can someone just tell me what my new percentages are for each part so I can record the recipe? I am obviously having a brain fart tonight!

You started out with 10ml total (3+5.8+1.2), then you added 2.1ml (1.7+.2+.2), giving you a new total of 12.1ml. Simply calculate the percentage of each element as a portion of 12.1 ... i.e.:

3.0/12.1 = 24.8%
5.8/12.1 = 47.9%
1.2/12.1 = 9.9%
1.7/12.1 = 14.0%
0.2/12.1 = 1.7%
0.2/12.1 = 1.7%

Total.. =100%

You didn't state the mg level of your base nicotine so I used 100mg in the example below:

I hated math in high school and college; got through it, but hated every second of it. Thank goodness for the calculators available on line for this endeavor or I would never be able to make anything!!!

I excelled very well in both high school and college, but HATED IT!!
