A paint store sells an orange paint that is made by combining 7 parts red with 4 parts yellow. A customer tried to recreate the order at home, but made a mistake. Her
container has 4 parts red paint and 8 parts yellow paint. How much red paint does she
need to add to get the correct shade of orange?

10 parts red paint

Step-by-step explanation:

she doubled the amount of yellow paint in the can at home, so you will need to add twice the amount of red paint. 7×2=14, 14-4= 10.

3.76%

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
