PPM Calculations


Ok, I've seen the posts on how to do this but I need a
simplified version.  Here's my question. My soil test says that
I have 20 ppm nitrogen.  I want to bump it to 60 ppm.  How many
pounds of 21% nitrogen fertilizer do I put per 100 square feet
to add 40 ppm of n to my soil???

This is a test of your math agility.

Now can you give me a single equation to solve this generally
in the form of

(Number of ppm of amendment you want to add)
Times
(Strength of Ferilizer in Percent}
Times
(Conversion Factor)

Equals
 = Number of pounds fertilizer/100Sq ft.

This is really testing those brain cells.....
