64%

To find the percentage of blue paint in the "passion purple" color, we need to determine the total amount of paint and then calculate the proportion of blue paint. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Calculate the total amount of paint used in the mixture by adding the quantities of red and blue paint.
Total paint = red paint + blue paint
Total paint = 5 oz + 9 oz
Total paint = 14 oz

Step 2: Calculate the proportion of blue paint by dividing the amount of blue paint by the total amount of paint and multiplying by 100 to get the percentage.
Proportion of blue paint = (amount of blue paint / total paint) * 100
Proportion of blue paint = (9 oz / 14 oz) * 100
Proportion of blue paint ≈ 0.6429 * 100
Proportion of blue paint ≈ 64.29

So, approximately 64.29% of the "passion purple" color is made up of blue paint. Rounded to the nearest percent, this would be 64%.
