15. A band expects to have 16 songs on their next
album. The band writes and records 62.5% more
songs than they expect to have in the album.
During the editing process, 50% of the songs are
removed. How many songs will there be in the
final album?

Respuesta :

Answer:

There will be 13 songs in the final album.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) number of songs expected = 16 songs

ii) the band wrrites 62.5% more

   therefore the band writes [tex]16 \times ( 1 + 0.625) = 16 \times 1.625 = 26[/tex] songs

iii) During the editing process 50% of the songs are removed.

   Therefore there will be in the final album = [tex]( 1 - 0.5) \times 26 = 0.5 \times 26 = 13[/tex] songs.
