Question

Show Work please and thank you!

Curt and Melanie are mixing blue and yellow
paint to make seafood green paint. Use the
percent equation to find how much yellow paint
they should use.

10% Blue
1.5 quarts (of seafoam green?)
30% Yellow

Answer 1

10% yellow and 30% Blue green

Answer 2

they should use 1.1 quarts more of yellow paint. 10% is 0.1 quarts and 30% is 0.3 quarts so yellow and blue combined would be 0.4 quarts. 1.5 quarts is needed, 1.5 - 0.4= 1.1 quarts
