A paint mixture containing 25.0% of a pigment and the balance binders (which help the pigment stick to the surface) and solvents (which ensure that the paint stays in liquid form) sells for $18.00/kg, and a mixture containing 12.0% sells for SlO.OO/kg.
- If a paint retailer produces a blend containing 17.0% pigment, for how much (S/kg) should it be sold to yield a 10% profit?
