-----------------
Equation:
value + value = value
50*9.5 + 4x = 5(50+x)
----
Multiply thru by 10 to get;
50*95 + 40x = 50*50 + 50x
10x = 45*50
x = 9 liters (amt of $4 syrup needed)

.
Let x = amount (liters) of imitation maple
then
50(9.50) + x(4) = (50+x)5
475 + 4x = 250+5x
475 = 250+x
200 liters = x
