Question

the interior paint color melon madness,is 30% yellow, I used 72 ounces of yellow paint to mix the last batch. How many ounces of melon madneess did I make in last batch?

Answer 1

Call A is how many ounces of melon madness
A x 30/100=72
divide both side by 30/100
A=72/(30/100)
A=72 x 100/30
A=240
So 240 ounces of melon madness

Answer 2

If the paint is 30% yellow, and you used 72 ounces of yellow, all you have to do is divide 72 by 30% to get the whole amount of ounces of paint made.
72 ÷ 0.30 = 240
In the last batch, you made 240 ounces of melon madness paint.
