Set it up as a linear equation:
Ax+By=C
A=the rate, percent or cost of item A
x=the amount or number of item A
B=the rate, percent or cost of item B
y=the amount or number of item B
C=the total amount or C=A+B
.
(.60)(140)+(.30)(200)=(350)(x%) [Simplify]
84+60=350x
144=350x
144/350=x%
.4114=x%
.4114 X 100% = x% [Change .4114 to a percentage by multiplying by 100%]
41.14=x%
.
Check the answer by plugging 41.14% or .4114 back into the original equation.
