Hi Labeeba,
The 2% cinnamon-flavored sawdust is calculated as the fraction of the weight of cinnamon related to the total weight of the cinnamon-flavored sawdust (weight percentage, w/w). I mix ground cinnamon with sawdust to give a 2% (w/w) cinnamon mixture. For example, if I want to prepare 100g 2% cinnamon-flavored sawdust, I measure 2g cinnamon amount and mix the 2g cinnamon with sawdust (~98g) to reach 100g of cinnamon-sawdust mixture. I calculate the weight of sawdust or cinnamon by weighing equipment and put/mix them in a large ziplog bag. I hope these information will be helpful. If you have more questions, I will be happy to provide any information.
