Given:

Mixture of milk and water = 75%

Required percentage mixture of milk and water = 45%

Volume of mixture = 300 ml

Concept used:

Concentration before mixture = Concentration after mixture

Calculation:

⇒ Let the amount of water mixed is x ml.

⇒ The concentration of milk in the initial mixture = 75%

⇒ Volume of mixture = 300 ml

⇒ Final concentration of milk = 45%

⇒ So, after adding, Volume of mixture = 300 + x

⇒ The amount of milk in the mixture is remain unchanged.

⇒ 75% × 300 = 45% × (300 + x)

⇒

⇒

⇒ 500 = 300 + x

⇒ x = 500 – 300 = 200 ml.

Hence, the amount of water mixed in the mixture is 200 ml to reduce the concentration from 75% to 45%.
