Ok I need a formula lol
Alright I have 2 silos full of coal. #1 silo has 10,000 tons of coal that has an average of 17.52 ash content. #2 silo has 9,652 tons with an average of 9.97 ash. Ok we are loading a train and the customer wants a 14.50 total ash with 12,500 tons loaded on the train. Ok how much will I need to pull out of each silo to get an average of 14.50 ash? I know by plugging and unplugging I’ll need to pull 60% out of #1 silo and 40% out of #2 silo. But I need a formula to use in the future because every train and every blend will be different. I’ve been up all night trying to figure it out. I give up lol. If you can help it would be greatly appreciated. Please and thank you.
