a certain sky blue paint contains 10 percent blue pigment and 90 percent red pigment by weight . a certain green paint contains 70 percent blue pigment and 30 percent yellow pigment . when these paints are mixed to produce a brown paint , the brown paint contains 40 percent blue pigment . if the brown paint weighs 10 grams , then the red pigment contributes how many grams of that weight ?
10 grams of combined mixture and 40 % blue pigment means that the mixtures were mixed 50 % each . thus 5 grams a piece . out of the 5 grams of the dark blue paint , 60 % is red . therefore , 5 * . 9 = 4.5 grams of red pigment
multiply(divide(90, multiply(const_100, const_2)), 10)
