The original amount of yellow tint = 30 * 30% = 9 liters
If 5 liters of yellow tint are added, we now have 14 liters of yellow tint
So.......the percent of yellow tint in the new mixture = 14 / [30 + 5] = 14/35 = 40%

25% x 30 =7.5 liters of red tint.
30% x 30 =9.0 liters of yellow tint.
45% x 30 =13.50 liters of water.
9 + 5 =14 liters of yellow tint
30 + 5 =35 liters of new paint
14/35 =40% is yellow tint
7.5/35=21 3/7 is red tint
13.50/35 =38 4/7 is water.
