Ok, this may be a very simple math problem that I'm just missing a step to, but whatever.
I have a bag of feed, and I'm trying to figure out what exactly I need to add to it to supplement anything my animals may need that they're not getting enough of. The protein, fiber, salt, calcium, etc. are all in percentages. It's a 50 lb bag. We'll use the calcium. In my bag of feed, the calcium content is about 1.10%. One of my animals needs about 2 pounds of calcium a day. How do I determine how much calcium (in poundage) is in my bag so I can supplement the rest of the calcium they need or switch feeds.
P.S. - I tried turning all the percentages into decimals and multiplying them by 50, but when I added the numbers together they were greater than 50.
