Hey all, hopefully simple but the wyeast chart is hanging me up a little.

So I have a starter that's filled to the 1L mark in a mason jar (I moved this one out of the flask so I could get another starter going, hoary holidays!). It's been in the fridge, so I have a yeast cake.

If I decant the total fluid down to the 200 mL mark, and my yeast cake is at the 80 mL mark (ie 40%), am I correct in using this:

To say that I have, at 40% cake vs wort, 1 billion cells per mL, so that if my target is 200 billion cells to pitch into my 5g batch, I want to pitch the full 200 mL of (by this time, all mixed up, so I can get the cake in suspension) slurry in my mason jar?

Or is there a simpler way here? Thanks!
