Question:
Which paint color should Ava advise the customer to select based
on the lowest percentage of red pigment? Explain how you found your
answer.
Answer:
Peach Pie has the lowest percentage of red pigments. I found this
out because 6 red pigments are 33.3% of 18 pigments total. For Coral
Paradise the red pigments are 42.1% of 19 pigments total. For Sunset Shine
the red pigments are 38.46% of 13 pigments total.

Part C:
Question:
Ava needs help correcting a mistake she made with the pigments
while creating the color Royal Purple. This custom color is supposed to
consist of 75% red pigment and 25% blue pigment. However, Ava only added
8 drops of red pigment and 4 drops of blue pigment into the gallon of white
paint. How many drops of red pigment should she add to the gallon of paint
to correct her mistake?Explain how you found your answer.
Answer:
She should add 4 more drops of red pigment. If 4 is 25%, than 4*4=
16. She has 12 pigments total( 8+4) she only needs to add 4 more red
pigments for it to be 75% red and 25% blue.
