Question

Sarah mixes 3 liter of red paint with 1 liter of white paint to make 4 liter of pink paint how many liters of red paint does she need to make 24 liter of pink paint?

Answer 1

Answer: 18 litres

Explanation:

In 4 litre pink paint, red paint constituted 3 litres. In percentage therefore, it was:

= 3/4 * 100%

= 75% of the mixture.

In a 24 litre therefore, it will occupy the same percentage which will be:

= 75% * 24

= 18 litres
