You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let +x+ = liters of 94% drink to be added
+.94x+ = liters of milk in 94% drink
+.24%2A15+=+3.6+ = liters of milk in 24% drink
-------------------------------------------------
+%28+.94x+%2B+3.6+%29+%2F+%28+x+%2B+15+%29+=+.52+
+.94x+%2B+3.6+=+.52%2A%28+x+%2B+15+%29+
+.94x+%2B+3.6+=+.52x+%2B+7.8+
+.42x+=+4.2+
+x+=+10+
10 liters of 94% drink should be added
--------------------------------------------
check:
+%28+.94%2A10+%2B+3.6+%29%2F%28+10+%2B+15+%29+=+.52+
+%28+9.4+%2B+3.6+%29+%2F+25+=+.52+
+13+=+.52%2A25+
+13+=+13+
OK
