Question
How do I calculate the percentage of water in a formula if the sum of the percentages of all other ingredients is 57.5%?
Answer
Based on the formula you provided, the percentage of water is calculated by subtracting the sum of the percentages of all other ingredients from 100%.
The sum of the percentages of the other ingredients is 57.5%.
Therefore, the water percentage in your formula is 100% - 57.5% = 42.5%.
The staff also suggested reducing Perfect-C™ to 5% for sufficient results. If you follow this suggestion, the water percentage would be 47.5%.
