A mixture is 25% red paint, 30% yellow paint, and 45%water. If 4 quarts of red paint are added to 20 quarts of the mixture, what is the percentage of red paint in the new mixture?
To make this very simple I’m going to say that initially red= 5 quarts. Add 4 to that 5 to get 9 and then divide 9 by 24. This equals .375, so you would then multiply by 100 and get 37.5%. Hope this helps you out!
