    Let ...

    x = kg of green tea

    We can make an equation from the information given.

    3.5 (18) + 2.6x=2.9 (x+18)

    63+2.6x=2.9x+52.2

    10.8=0.3x

    x=36

    answer: 36 kg of green tea

    I will also solve your first question.

    2/3 is what percent of 1/4? 1/6?

    Let's turn this question into an equation where we can solve for the unknown. Don't worry about the percent conversion yet.

    2/3=1/4x

    x=8/3

    Now we can convert 8/3 to 800/3 %.

    We solve the second part of the question similarly.

    2/3=1/6x

    x=12/3=4=400%

    answer: 800/3% and 400%

    1) If you want to know what percent is X in Y, you must do:

    X/Y*100%

    so in this case:

    (2/3) / (1/4) * 100% = 266.66%

    So 2/3 is the 266.66% of 1/4

    and

    (2/3) / (1/6) * 100% = 400%

    So 2/3 is the 400% of 1/6

    2) We have 18kg of black tea, and each kg cost $3.5

    we want to mix it with X kg of green tea, (with a cost of $2.6) so the total cost per kg is $2.9

    The final weight of the mixture will be 18kg + X

    and the price of the each kilogram in the mixture will be:

    P = (18kg*3.5 + X*%2.6) / (18kg + X) = $2.9

    we must solve it for X

    (18kg*3.5 + X*$2.6) = $2.9 * (18kg + X) = $2.9*18kg + $2.9*X

    X * ($2.9 - $2.6) = ($3.5 - $2.9) * 18kg

    X = (0.6/0.3) * 18kg = 36kg

    So you need to add 36kg of green tea.
