There are 3 litres of alcohol in your starting mixture of 4 litres. If you add 6 litres of water you will have 3 litres of alcohol in a total of 10 litres. This is the required strength.

About 80ml of water must be added to 40ml of a 25 percent by weight solution to make a 2 percent by weight solution.

To determine the amount of 18% solution to add: Let x = volume of 18% solution to be added. 0.18x + 0.10(360) = 0.15(x + 360) Solving for x, you would need to add 75 ml of the 18% solution to the 360 ml of 10% solution to obtain a 15% solution.
You have 6 litres of alcohol in 24 litres of water You need to add x litres to make 6 equal to 15% of 30 + x. 6 is 15% of 40, so x = 10
When alcohol is added to denatured DNA, a white stringy precipitate of DNA will form. The DNA precipitates out of the solution because of its insolubility in alcohol, allowing it to be separated from the rest of the solution.
The way I would do this is to first determine the amount of alcohol and that would be 0.09 x 16 ml = 1.44 ml then I would ask myself (0.08 * x) = 1.44 Therefore to have an 8% solution we would have a total of 18 ml of solution (by solving the above equation), thus we would have to add 2 ml of water (18 ml - 16 ml).
Alcohol is added to the DNA solution to help precipitate the DNA out of the solution. This allows the DNA to be separated from other cellular components such as proteins and lipids. The DNA can then be collected and further analyzed or used in experiments.
