Imagine you have 2 glasses, each able to hold 100ml of liquid.

You pour 95ml of water and 5ml of pure ethanol into one. That one now has a 5% alcohol content, or an APV of 5%.

You pour 85ml of water and 15ml of pure ethanol into the other. That one now has a 15% alcohol content, or an APV of 15%.
