let there is 100 ml of original solution\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in that there is 60% that is 60 ml of orange content\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now suppose x ml of water is added \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so total it is 100+x ml and orange content is 60 ml\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now this 60 ml should constitute 40% of 100+x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "60=(40/100)(100+x)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "60=40+.4x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ".4x=20\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=50 ml\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so 50% of water should be added
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
