An attempt at synthesizing a certain optically active compound resulted in the mixture of its enantiomers. The mixture had an observed specific rotation of +15.3 degrees. If it is known that the specific rotation of the R enantiomer is -30.8 degree, determine the percentage of each isomer in the mixture.
