The ratio, by volume, of flavoring to sugar to water in a certain soft drink is 2 : 10 : 50. The soft drink will be altered so that the ratio of flavoring to sugar is halved while the ratio of sugar to water is doubled. If the altered soft drink will contain 4 ounces of sugar, how many ounces of water will it contain?

New ratios of flavor:sugar and sugar:water are 1:10 and 20:50. Combined ratios of flavor:sugar:water make 2:20:50. When soft drink (d) contains 4 ounces of sugar, this is equivalent 20/72=4/d and d=14.4. Water (w) content is 50/72=w/14.4 and w=10 ounces. Answer is C
