+126 An artist mixes a shade of paint that is 33 1/3%
red, 15% yellow and the rest blue. He then mixes a second
shade of paint using only red and blue in a 3:1 ratio. If the artist then combines 300 mL of the first shade with
120 mL of the second shade and 85 mL of blue, what percent of the resulting shade of paint will be blue?
(Express your answer to the nearest whole %.)
+36916 100% - (33.33% + 15 % ) = 51.667 % blue
Second batch is 1/(3+1) = 1/4th = 25% blue
.51667 (300) + .25(120) = x (420) where x is the decimal percentage that is blue in the final concoction.
solve for 'x'
