You can put this solution on YOUR website! In liters of juice that contains 55% water, there is liters of water
Let = liters of water to be added = liters of juice before adding water = liters of water at the beginning
----------------
( liters of water you end up with ) / ( liters of juice you end up with ) = .55
3.5 liters of water need to be added
check: = liters of water at the beginning liters
--------------------------
In liters of juice that contains 55% water, there is liters of water
( liters of water you end up with ) - ( liters of water started with ) = ( liters of water to be added ) liters of water added
