Final total number of balls
=10+6+112=128
Half of them would be 64.
You will need 64 white and 64 yellow.
I'll leave you to figure out how many of each colour to add.

We need to keep the ratio 10:6
112 = 16*7, so we need to add
10*7 = 70 white balls
6*7 = 42 yellow balls
112 = 16*7, so we need to add
10*7 = 70 white balls
6*7 = 42 yellow balls
