Explanation

Initial soda = 40% of 20 = 8 liters. After adding 6 liters of soda, total soda = 14 liters, total mixture = 26 liters. Percentage = (14/26) * 100 = 53.846%.

The original mixture contains 40% of 20 litres, which is 8 litres of soda. After adding 6 litres of soda, the new amount of soda is 14 litres in a total volume of 26 litres. The percentage of soda is calculated as (14 / 26) * 100, which equals 53.85%.
