Since $30 \textbackslash\%$ of the original 45 liters of paint was yellow, and 5 liters of yellow paint were added to make the new mixture, there are $13.5+5=18.5$ liters of yellow tint in the new mixture. Since only 5 liters of paint were added to the original 45 , there are a total of 50 liters of paint in the new mixture. This gives $ 37\textbackslash\%$ of yellow tint in the new mixture, which is (C) 37 . 
A mixture of 45 liters of paint is $20 \textbackslash\%$ red tint, $30 \textbackslash\%$ yellow tint and $50 \textbackslash\%$ water. Five liters of yellow tint are added to the original mixture. What is the percent of yellow tint in the new mixture? (2007 AMC 8, Question \#17 ) 
1) $$30$$ 
2) $$35$$ 
3) $$37$$ 
4) $$39$$
