A painter makes one batch of green paint that is 80 ounces total. 75% of the batch is yellow paint and 25% is blue paint. When the painter makes a new batch of green paint, she uses the same amount of yellow paint and doubles the amount of blue paint in the mixture. What percentage of her new batch of green paint will be yellow paint?

Respuesta :

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

There is 56 total ounces of green paint.

42oz is = 3/4

14oz is = 1/4

If she doubles the amount of yellow paint it would be 28oz instead of 14.

42+28= 70

There is now 70oz of paint total which becomes the new denominator.

The numerator is 42oz because that is how much blue paint there is.

42/70=.6 or 60%

Hope this helps!
