I went to a party last night. There were two barrels of wine one filled with grape wine and one with orange wine. I thought to do an experiment, I took a wine glass and filled it half with grape wine and orange wine in the ratio 9:4, rest half of the glass I filled with water. Now I drank 40% of it and again filled grape wine and orange wine in ratio 6:7.
Now what is the percentage of grape wine in the resulting mixture?

Intially the mixture is 1 3 9 grape, then, adding the water it is half that, or 2 6 9 grape. Now 4 0 % of this mixture is consumed leaving 5 3 of the 2 6 9 or 1 3 0 2 7 of a full glass being grape.
Next 4 0 % of a full glass in a ratio 1 3 6 or 5 2 1 3 6 = 1 3 0 2 4 of grape out of a full glass is added to the original, yielding 1 3 0 2 7 + 1 3 0 2 4 = 1 3 0 5 1 = 3 9 . 2 3 %
