Solution:

As, it is given that school's lemonade is $10\%$ lemon juice by volume, and the rest is sugar water.

School's lemonade which is Sugar water= (100-10)=90 % volume

Let total volume of Lemonade (Lemon Juice + Sugar Water) = x liter

Volume percent of Lemon Juice =
\frac{\text{Percentage of Volume of Lemonade}}{\text{Percent of Volume of Sugar solution}}* 100

=
(10)/(90)* 100=(100)/(9)%

Let , number of liters of lemon juice must be added to 20 liters of sugar water to make the school's lemonade= x liter

To find , number of liters of lemon juice must be added to 20 liters of sugar water to make the school's lemonade, we will use the following formula:

→Volume percent of Lemon Juice =
\frac{\text{ Volume of Lemonade}}{\text{ Volume of Sugar solution}}* 100

=
(100)/(9)=(x)/(20)* 100\\\\ x=(20)/(9)

= 2.23 Liter(Approx)

The percentage of lemon in the juice is 10%
The percentage of water sugar is (100-10)=90%
The quantity of lemon in 20 liters of sugar water will be:
amount=(percentage of lemon)/(percentage of sugar water)×(amount of sugar water)
=10/90×20
=2 2/9 liters
