the specific rotation of a pure substance is -5.90 degree

The specific rotation of a pure substance is -5,90 degree. What is the percentage of this isomer in a mixture with an observed specific rotation of -2,95 degree?
How do I work this out.

what specific rotation does the other entationmer have? given a mixture of enantiomer, how would you calculate the observed rotation?
