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?

In the initial 20 quarts of mixed paint there is    25% red     sooooo   20 qrts * .25 = 5 quarts of red

 

now add 4 quarts of red     now there is 9 quarts of red in   20 + 4   quarts

9/24 * 100% = 37.5% red
