Question 758881: A man has a paint formula calling for a mixture of paint A B C and D to make paint. The ratio is 60% A 25%B 10%C and 5% D. If he needs 20 gallons of paint. How many gallons of paint A will he need? Answer by josgarithmetic(39630) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Very plainly, 60% of 20 gallons. Finding the answer requires nothing more than just that. 60% is the same as 6/10 or 3/5.
