I don't have the initial amounts from your problem — but the general expression is:
If the original mix contains P ounces of peanuts in T ounces total, and you add x ounces of peanuts, then the peanut percentage of the final mix is
((P + x) / (T + x)) × 100.
(If you want the decimal concentration instead of a percent, drop the "× 100".)
Example: if the original mix is 20 oz with 30% peanuts, then P = 0.30·20 = 6 and T = 20, so the percent after adding x oz is ((6 + x)/(20 + x))·100.
