Hi there!

First, we'll set up a proportion to find 40% of 38000. Then, we'll add that to 38000 and set up another proportion to find 40% of that value and add that to the value.

WORK:
40/100 = x/38000
100x = 1520000
x = 15200
15200 + 38000 = 53200

40/100 = x/53200
100x = 2128000
x = 21280
21280 + 53200 = 74480

ANSWER:
There will be 74,480 views in two hours

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
