N-P-K question

[babystarbud]

this probably sound like a daft question, but i just wanted to make sure.

NPK is expressed as a percentage, and given that most if not all ferts need diluting... is that percentage the final % when the waters added?
like a 10-10-10 fert that says to add x ammount per litre of water,
that water will then be 10% nitrogen etc. ?


reason i ask is that i got some new fert today, 10-25-25,
if i put half the ammount in the reccomended water,
would that make it 5-12.5-12.5?
