Molly McGee is painting her room violet. The 15 gallon bucket of purple paint that she
currently has is 30% red paint and 70% blue paint. This shade of violet is more red, and
so Molly will need paint that is 40% red paint, and thus 60% blue paint. How many
gallons of red paint should she add to her current bucket in order to be able to paint her
room violet?

Answer:

1.5 gallons of red paint

Step-by-step explanation:

finding 10% of 15 gallons:

15 x 0.1 = 1.5

If Molly needs to go from 30% - 40% of red paint and 1.5 gallons is equal to 10%, then Molly needs to add 1.5 more gallons of red paint to her current bucket in order to be able to paint her room violet.
