For a recent paint job, Josh mixed red and white paint to make two different shades of pink. When the job was done, Josh ended up with leftover paint: 5 gallons of dark pink paint (80% red) and 4 gallons of light pink paint (30% red). Josh wants to make a medium pink color (50% red) to paint his daughter's bedroom. He will need 3 gallons to completely cover the walls. How much of each of the leftover paints should Josh mix to achieve his desired color?
