In a lilac paint mixture, 40% of the mixture is white paint, 20% is blue, and the rest is red. There are 4 cups of blue paint used in a batch of lilac paint

Answer:
8 cups of white paint, 8 cups of red paint, and 20 cups of lilac
Step-by-step explanation:
20% of the paint is blue In the mixture(4 cups of blue paint were used)
20%= 4 cups of blue paint
Therefore 40% of white paint equals 8 cups of white paint same applies to the rest of the red paint
The rest of the red paint equals 40% because if you add 20% + 40%=60%
100% of the total of the mixture -60% of the blue paint and white equals 40% left of the rest of the red paint.
a. white paint
If 20% of the mixture is blue paint and there are 4 cups of it, then there is twice the amount of white paint as 40% is twice as much as 20%
4 × 2 = 8 cups of white paint
b. red paint
same explanation as the white paint since the mixture is also 40% red.
8 cups of red paint
c. lilac paint
8 cups red + 8 cups white + 4 cups blue = 20 cups lilac
