Please show all your work. Here is the question:
In a wheelbarrow, you have 2 kilograms of soil for your garden. If 8% of it is organic matter(decayed materials from organisms), how many grams of organic matter do you have?
Note that the first part is dealing kilograms and the second part is dealingn with grams. There is a similiarity going around here….

My planting medium now contains 76% clay, 18% sand and larger particles and 6 % organic material. I want to mix in sand and organic material so I end up with a medium of 40% clay, 35% sand (larger inorganic particles) and 25% organic material, such as compost. All these items are by volume.

I’d like a formula I could use since I have other planting beds with different mixtures.
