As the percentage is always from 100% .

Thus  proportion equation becomes

Put all the values in the above

x = 0.36 pound

Therefore the weigh of the oats in the trail mix is 0.36 pound .

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=
