A mixture of 40 liters of paint is 25% red tint, 30% yellow tint and 45% water. 10 liters of yellow tint are added to the original mixture. The percent of yellow tint in the new mixture is? Since 30% of 40 liters=12 liters of yellow tint 10 +40=50 Total mixture, but since we had 12 liters of yellow tint + 10 new liters=22 liters of yellow tint 22/50=44% of the new mixture is yellow tint. - http://web2.0calc.com/questions/a-mixture-of-40-liters-of-paint-is-25-red-tint-30-yellow-tint-and-45-water-10-liters-of-yellow-tint-are-added-to-the-original-mixture
