There are 15 gallons water to start.Suppose x gallons are added, the amount of solution is 50+x
(15)/(x+50)=0.25
15=0.25x+12.5
0.25x=2.5 so x=10

This is like serial dilutions......we have it in bio

50 gallons of 30% acohol solution
15 gallons of alcohol
v1c1=v2c2
50X30=V2X25
V2=60gallons

So 10 litres of water to be added....
Actually the same thing as astar but mabe this should make it easier
