I'm sure my title is silly but here is some background to my question. I am a custom meat processor. I am constantly doing wonky math to find what seems like there would be an easy equation to figure out.
If I have 30 pounds of beef to start
customer wants 1/3 straight beef , the other 2/3 with 40% pork ratio. But I want each 1/3 to be the same after adding 40% pork ratio . Is there an equation for this?
Currently I would do 30÷3=10
Then 10÷.6=16.66
But this doesn't work really because I want to give the customer back 3 equal parts instead of 10, 16.66, and 16.66.
