Considering the situation as mixing 20% spirit into 50% spirit making 25% spirit champagne This is a alligation problem
so, 20 25 50
25 5
5 1
So, mixed in the ratio of 5:1 means bartender mixed 20% spirit into original 50% spirit in the ratio of 5:1 Means 5/6 of the bottle is stoled by bartender which is 5/6*100 = 83.33%
