I too think it's 1/4 but nowhere was the original volume specified in the OP. Here's my equation:

x(.5) = (x + y).4

where x is the original volume and y is the amount of water added. Solving for y I get x(.25)
I used a gallon in the OP as an example. The actual volume is a number of gallons. .25gallon is 32 oz. A quart. Seems like a lot of water. I may have to do some experimenting tonight with various ratios.
