You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
As the problem is worded, printed, posted and presented, it may have many different solutions/answers,
depending on relative size/volume of the bottles.
So, accurately speaking, the problem is posed incorrectly.
To be accurate, the problem MUST SAY that the bottles are identical and have the same volume;
or, alternatively, the problem must specify the RATIO of the bottles volumes.
Without it, the problem is a FAKE.
