The volume of the 25% sugar solution needed is 200 liters.

Volume of the 25% solution that should be added

Let the volume of the 25% solution that should be added = x

set up the equation as follows;

x(0.25) + 0.5(500 - x) =  500(0.4)

solve for x as shown below;

0.25x + 250 - 0.5x = 200

-0.25x = 200  - 250

-0.25x = -50

x = 50/0.25

x = 200 Liters

Thus, the volume of the 25% sugar solution needed is 200 liters.
