Bone question perhaps, but:

If I take a kit of malt extract (ie Coopers) with an EBC value of (for talking sake) 530 and mix it with a can of Amber LME which has an EBC of 340, what is the eventual EBC rating?

Or is there no way to calculate it until the brew has been made?
 
My gut instinct would be to add both values together an divide by 2 but is that to straightforward.
 
There are pieces of software that could help.

I use Brewtarget on Linux, but I'm not sure about Windows software,
