You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let +x+ = liters of water to be added
+%28+10%2A10+%2B+20%2A30+%29+%2F+%28+30+%2B+x+%29+=+1+ dollars/liter
( I think they are assuming that the added
water does not add to the cost )
+700+%2F+%28+30+%2B+x+%29+=+1+
+30+%2B+x+=+700+
+x+=+670+
----------------
The ratio of water to milk needs to be
+670%2F30+=+22.33+
