You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First Stage:

%2825x%2B0%2Ay%29%2F22=percentOrangeEssense of the mixture result.
Making the variable simpler on the right,
%2825x%29%2F22=p

You do not yet have information for value of x nor y. NOR for p. You could still work with this using what variables and values you have.

Stage Two:

Add 3 liters of water, and find the new percent of the essense.

22p%2F%2822%2B3%29
22%2825x%2F22%29%2F%2822%2B3%29
25x%2F%2825%29
x
