mixing persent question: objects with x, y, and z as members with defined percent.

[jimbom]

There are objects with x, y, and z as members with defined percent.
Object A (30% x, 58% y, 12% z).

Objects C's:
C1( 14% x1, 47% y1, 39% z1)
C2( 18% x2, 53% y2, 29% z2)
C3( 28% x3, 30% y3, 42% z3)
C4 ....

What will be the formula to find out the percents of the mixed C's to end up
the closest to A ?.

What is the meaning of "C4...."?

Are you trying to say that C4 is the requested sum of the percentages of C1, C2, and C3?

C4

What is the meaning of "C4...."?

Are you trying to say that C4 is the requested sum of the percentages of C1, C2, and C3?

C4 can be another C. Instead of C1 C2 C3, it can be C1 C2 C3 C4 meaning the formula is for many C's.
You can forget about C4.
Take some percent of C1, some percent of C2 and some percent of C3, mix them together and end up
with B for example, where B's x y z percents are closest to the ones of the A.
The question is the formula to find out those percents of the C1, C2 and C3.
