It is only 66% because the other 34% is made up from bones, flesh, muscle, fat etc. if your body was made up from 100% water it would be like a puddle with nothing to support the frame.

How can i make a 10 percent glucose solution from 50 percent glucose solution?

Let's say the total solution is 100 liters. 50 of the liters is glucose and 50 is water. We want to make the 50 glucose equal to 10% of the total solution. For that to happen, we need to make the total solution 500 liters (50 of the 500 would be a 10% solution). So we add 400 liters of water to the original 100 liter (50/50) solution. Take the total number of units and multiply by 4. Add that much in water.
