Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, One blend contains 20% basil.

own 30% blend.

(30/100)B =(20/100)B +(amount Sheila want to add to make 16 ounces)

amount Sheila want to add to make 16 ounces= (30/100)B - (20/100)B

amount Sheila want to add to make 16 ounce= (16-B)

0.5B= (16-B)

B=14

If substracted from the 16ounce we have 2.
