Paint Color

She should advise the customer to use

Peach Pie because Coral Paradise has 42%

of red pigment, Sunset Shine has 38% of red pigment, and Peach Pie has 33% of red
pigment. For each color, I added all the drops of pigment and divided that total
from the amount of each drops of red pigment in the color.
Part B:

Part C:
She
should add a total of 12 drops of the red pigment and 100% would be Royal

Purple and Royal Purple would be 16 drops in total: 4 drops of blue pigment and 16
drops of red pigment. I got my answer because the ratio before for 8 drops of blue
pigment and 4 drops of red pigment was 2:1 the ratio of the Royal Purple is 3:1 and
3 * 4 = 12 and 1 * 4 = 4

Explanation:
For the red pigment we got 25% because 100% is 32 drops in
total and we did 8/32*100 and got 25 for the red pigment. For the blue pigment,
we did 12/32*100 and got 37.5% for the blue pigment. The yellow pigment is the
same as the blue pigment.

Part F:
Ava would pay $73.20 for the sales tax because the price for the pigment would be
$30.50 per ounce and she needs 40 ounces of pigment and I multiplied it and got

$1220 and the sales tax is 6% and that is 0.06 in a decimal and 0.06 * 1220 equals
$73.20.
