    x ml of 85% mixture will needed to add

    0.40*480 ml alcohol in 480 ml solution (40%)

    0.85x alcohol in x ml solution (85%)

    0.45 (480 + x) in (480 + x) ml 0.45% solution

    0.40*480+0.85x = 0.45 (480 + x)

    192+0.85x=216+0.45x

    0.85x-0.45x=216-192

    0.4x=24

    x=24/0.4=60 ml a 45% alcohol solution
