81/3 gallonsExplanation
Let, x gallons water should be added. Here, 125 gallons of a mixture contains 20% water is (125× 20/100)= 25 gallons According to the question, 25+x = (125+x)×25/100 => 25+x = (125+x)×1/4 => 4(25+x) = 125+x => 100+4x = 125+x => 4x-x=125-100 => 3x=24 => x=24/3 So, x=81/3 So, 81/3 gallons water should be added.
