15 gallons of 35% peroxide solution contains 0.35 × 15 = 5.25 gallons of hydrogen peroxide. The rest of the volume is made up of 15 - 5.25 = 9.75 gallons of water.

If we add x gallons of water to the solution, the amount of hyrdrogen peroxide in the solution stays the same, but the volume of water increases to 9.75+x gallons, and the total volume increases to 15+x gallons.

To get a concentration of 8% in this diluted solution, we add x gallons of water such that

\dfrac{5.25}{15+x} = 0.08

Solve for x.

5.25 = 0.08 (15 + x)

5.25 = 1.2 + 0.08x

0.08x = 4.05

x = 50.625

To get the desired concentration, one must add 50.625 gallons of water, and one will end up with a total volume of 65.625 gallons of solution.
