Assuming water is *free* of cost,

lets assume on Day 1 the beverage comprises of 500ml water and 500ml orange juice - - total 1 litre for $0.6

Now on day 2, water = twice the amount of orange juice, therefore 1000ml of water and 500 ml of orange juice = 1.5 litre for $0.6.

Since its sold for the same revenue (cost of 1.5 ltr dilute juice = cost of 1 ltr concentrated juice)

Price of dilute juice/ltr (day 2) = 0.6/1.5 = $0.4 IMO
