I made a fragrance blend I LOVE, and would like to mix it with some lotion base. The lowest percentage of usage of the mix is 5%. I intend to mix it with 70 ml of lotion. Is 3.5 ml the correct amount?
I Need Math Help, Please

Thanks! I really am horrible in math, LOL!

70 mL X 5 / 100 = 3.5 mL
70 mL X 5 / 100 = 3.5 mL
I was using a calculator, but I was not sure how to set the problem up.
