Problem C
Needs More Heat

Samu bought \(20\) g of curry powder in a container. He used \(2\) g of the curry powder in a recipe and thought it wasn’t spicy enough, so he added \(2\) g of hot chili powder to his curry powder container and mixed it thoroughly. The next day he used \(2\) g of his newly mixed curry powder in a recipe and thought it still wasn’t spicy enough, so he added another \(2\) g of hot chili powder to his curry powder container and mixed it thoroughly.

What is the ratio of the mass of the original curry powder to the mass of hot chili powder in the container now?
