Answer: There will be 3 songs on the final CD.
Step-by-step explanation: The band expects to put 12 songs on their next CD. They write and record 25% more songs than they expect, which means they wrote and recorded 12 + (0.25 x 12) = 15 songs. During the editing process, 80% of the songs are removed. 80% of 15 is (0.80 x 15) = 12 songs. Subtracting the removed songs from the recorded songs, we get 15 - 12 = 3 songs that will be on the final CD. Therefore, there will be 3 songs on the final CD.
