conversion help needed

[Callmaker]

OK girls, how in the world do I convert. I am just starting. I made the whipped frosting, turned out great. Now onto the bunny bootylious stuff and I don't know how much to use.

starters

57% Aloe juice how much is that

3% glycerin how much is that

how do I convert, not by any means a math wizz here. I can measure if I know what to measure, LOL

Go to http://herbalsoapsbyrj.com they have conversion tables on there. Just put in your percentages & the total amount of a batch you want to make. If your making say 2 lbs it will give you the amounts for it. HTH

batch size X % = amount you use

like for an 8 oz batch of whatever

btch -% ---ingredient---how much of that ingredient

8oz X 57%(aloe juice) = 4.56 oz

8oz X 3% ( glycerin) = ---.24 oz

8oz X 40% ( other ing.) = 3.20 oz

100% TOTAL oz 8.00 batch size

So when you are done all the amounts added together will equal you total batch size.

And your %ages will add up to 100%

Just a side note here, I noticed it's MUCH easier to use grams than ounces... if your scale measures in grams. Mine does fractions for ounces and I don't like to guess when it comes to weighing stuff!
