"by volume", so need to consider the volumes involved. 
b gallons of BerryX! drink has .1b gallons of strawberry juice. 
h gallons of water has 0 gallons of strawberry juice. 
Together they form (b+h) gallons with (.1b + 0) gallons of strawberry juice. 
Therefore, Together they have (.1b + 0)/(b+h) = 10b)/(b+h)% and answer is "e"
