w, how much pounds of the 6% protein cornmeal;
260-w, how much of the 12% protein soybean meal;
That would be exactly according to the description, but the part of your description which is meaningless is the expected 99% Protein mixture result. THIS WILL NOT WORK.

By mixing the 12% protein with 6% protein you will NEVER get 99% protein.
This problem HAS NO solution.
Your condition is wrong (unless you intently try to mislead a reader).
So check your condition.
