The ratio of buckets of yellow paint to buckets of red paint in the store is 3 to 4. There are 60 buckets of yellow paint. How many buckets of red paint are in the store?

80 buckets of red paint

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The ratio of buckets of yellow paint to buckets of red paint in the store to be 3:4

Total ratio = 3 + 4 = 7

Amount of yellow paint = 60

Required

Amount of red paint.

First get the total amount of paint used.

3/7 * x = 60

x is the total paint used

3x/7 = 60

3x = 7*60

x = 420/3

x = 140 buckets of paint

Amount of red paint = Total - Amount of yellow paint

Amount of red paint = 140 - 60

Amount of red paint = 80

Hence there are 80 buckets of red paint in the store
