    Given:

    Mixture of vitamin water = 75% pure water & 25% concentrated vitamin drink.

    To find:

    Quantity of water to be added to 16 gallons of concentrated vitamin drink to prepare a tank of vitamin water.

    Solution:

    Let total amount of mixture be x.

    25% of x = 16 gallons (from given information)

    When 25% of x is 16 gallons, the remaining 75% of x will be calculated as below:

    (16/25) * 75 = 48

    Answer: 75% of x = 48 gallons. This means 48 gallons pure water is required to be added to mixture to prepare a tank of vitamin water.
