Answer 2

Given : A mixture of paint and water contains 8parts of paint and 2 parts of water.

To find : The percentage of the paint in the mixture.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the required percentage)

Here, we will be using general percentage calculation method.

The total mixture can be expressed as :

= Amount of paint + Amount of Water

= (8+2) parts

= 10 parts

So, the percentage of the paint will be :

= 100 × (Amount of paint / Amount of total mixture)

= 100 × (8/10)

= 80%

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, there is 80% paint in the mixture.
