poohbaby Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 sorry, I'm another math challenged person! LOL Can someone tell me what my percentage of FO is? 16 oz of melted wax and I add 1 oz of FO to that. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilder Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 1oz of FO into 16oz wax = 1/16Using the calculator we divide 16 into 1 and we get 0.0625.To make that a percentage, simply move the decimal point 2 spaces to the right which gives you 6.25%.

topofmurrayhill Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 The FO is 1 oz in 17 oz total (wax + FO = 17 oz = 100%).That's 1 divided by 17 = 5.88%The previous post is a common mistake in calculating it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
