in what ration water be mixed with soda costing 12$ per liter so as to make profit of 25% by selling the diluted liquid at 13.75$ per liter?

• 1/12
  
  Average cost/liter without profit=13.75*100/125=11
  If in 1 liter of soda costing 12$/liter, water mixed=x then average cost
  =12/(1+x)=11, x=1/11
  Ratio of water to soda=(1/11)/[1+(1/11)]=1/12

• Cost price of mixure=11rs/kg
  I mixed soda and water x:y.
  cost price of x lit soda =12*x and total mixure quantity is x+ykg.so now cost price of total mixure then(x+y)*11
  X*12=(x+y)*11
  X:y=11:1
