concentration(dec.fraction)          volume            pure(as dec. fraction)
      p                                2                     2p
     .33                               6                     6*(0.33)
     .50                               8                      4

No doubt an "easier" way can be found, but this table lets set up 2p%2B%280.33%29%2A6=4
(remember, p here is as decimal fraction instead of percent.)
