STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

B_w = ((p_sa*B₁)+(p_si*B₂)+(p_cl*B₃))/100 --> ((20*0.2)+(35*0.1)+(31.3*40))/100

Evaluating ... ...

B_w = 12.595

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

12.595 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

12.595 <-- Weighted Value of B
