A paint company mixes its paint with water to create more paint per gallon. They currently have ten gallon jugs which contain 10% water.
How much water must they add to create an 80/20 mix of paint to water?

  1. 1 gallon
  2. 1.25 gallons
  3. 1.5 gallons
  4. 1.75 gallons
  5. 2 gallons

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Currently the mixture is 90% paint, 10% water or 9 gallons of paint for every 1 gallon of water. For the company to create an 80% / 20% mix, the company must add 1.25 gallons to their current 10 gallon mixtures. This will create 2.25 gallons of water for every 11.25 total gallons. This results in a 2.25/11.25 or 20% water mix.
