Answer 1

Expert Verified Answer

Explanation:

Out of the 15500 students, 15500 * 4/5 = 12400 students drink coffee.

Out of those students who drink coffee, 12400 / 8 = 1550 students add cream.

So, 1550 students drink coffee with cream.

Answer 2

4 out of 5 students drink coffee, so the number of students who drink coffee is 15500 * 4 / 5 = 12400.

1 out of 8 students who drink coffee add cream, so the number of students who drink coffee with cream is 12400 / 8 = 1550.
