Calculating Nutrients mix..help!!!

I have a quick (hopefully quick) question about mixing nutrients.
I'm on a budget and only have some cheap no branded plant feed available.
They aren't particularly great on NPK but I thought about mixing them together and increasing the NPK.
1. 7-7-7
2. 4-5-6
Basically I'm wondering how these numbers are obtained? The bottles don't have much info on them.
Are these usually %?
Because if I mix them together I will only have
5.5-6-6.5
And I'd be better off just using the 7-7-7.
Any mathematical help is appreciated :-)
