Let x be amount of milk,
y be the amt of water in initial stage.
When 35 ltrs of water is added,
x/(x+y+35)=3/10
when additional 40 litres of water is added
x/(x+y+75)=1/5
solving these equations,
we get
x=24 and y=21
let w be more water added
then, 24/(21+24+35+40+w)=8/100
by solving
we get
w=180 ltrs
