Question

A band expects to put 12 songs on their next CD. The band writes and records 25​% more songs than they expect to put on the CD. During the editing​ process, ​20% of the songs are removed. How many songs will there be on the final​ CD?

Answer 1

25% of 12 is 3, 12+3= 15. 25% of 15 is 3. 15 - 3 = 12 Answer: 12

Answer 2

12 songs. 25% of 12 is 3, so you add 3 to 12 and get 15. You then find that 20% of 15 is 3 so you subtract 3 from 15 and get 12 again.
