The ratio, by volume, of bleach to detergent to water in a certain solution is 2 : 40 : 100. The solution will be altered so that the ratio of bleach to detergent is tripled while the ratio of detergent to water is halved. If the altered solution will contain 200 liters of water, how many liters of detergent will it contain? Choose one:
A) 60
B) 55
C) 50
D) 45
E) 40
B:D:W = 2:40:100   Bnew / Dnew = (1/3)*(2/40) = (1/60)   Dnew / Wnew = (1/2)*(40/100) = (1/5)   Wnew = 200   Dnew = Wnew/5 = 200/5=
