Pure Milk contains 89% water.How much water should be added to form a sample of 22 litre containing 90% water?

• a sample of 22 litre containing 90% water will have 10% milk i.e. 2.2 ltr milk.
  
  2.2 ltr milk in a mixture of 11% milk means total mixture is 100*2.2/11= 20 ltr.,
  
  so 2 ltr water should be added in 20 ltr mixture of 89% water to make it 22 ltr mixture having 90% water.
