Phil used 42.5 ounces of red dye in the process of making 50 ounces of purple dye, given that the mixture was 85% red dye.
The question is asking us to determine how many ounces of red dye was used in the mixing process to produce 50 ounces of purple dye. Phil used a solution of 15% blue dye and 85% red dye. Therefore, the amount of red dye used can be computed by taking 85% of the total amount of dye made, which is 50 ounces.
To do this, we multiply the total ounces of dye (50 ounces) by the percentage of red dye (85%) used in the mixture. Mathematically, this is represented by the equation: (85/100) * 50.
Therefore, Phil used 42.5 ounces of red dye in the mixing process to make the purple dye.
