Add the alcohol to the water, not the other way round...

Desired %/Actual % = x then
1 - x = y then
z * y = amount of water required in the bottle. ( where z = volume of bottle in ml)
For instance
Desired % ( say 40%) divided by a demijohn of 65% aged and oaked spirit = 0.6154
1 minus 0.6154 = 0.3846
(If filling 1125 ml bottles) then 1125 times 0.3846 = 432.675
So you need to add 433 ml of water to each bottle and top up with spirit.
I just use a measuring jug and add my water to each bottle, all lined up in a row, then top up the row with spirit. No stopping and guessing if you need a bit more water or a bit more spirit.
Just substitute the numbers for whatever % and ml's you are using.
