Answer:
28
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that 12.5% of students own at least 1 pet, then the percentage of students who do not own a pet is
100% - 12.5% = 87.5%
Calculate 87.5% of 32, that is
× 32
= 0.875 × 32 = 28 ← number of students who do not own a pet
∑ from 1 to infinity of 12(3/5)^(i - 1)
Since the common ratio is less than 1, the series is convegent. [i.e. 3/5 < 1]
Sum to infinity of a geometric series is given by a/(1 - r); where a is the first term, and r is the common ratio.
Sum = 12/(1 - 3/5) = 12/(2/5) = 30.
12x50=600 so 60 left
15x50=750 so 60 left
so the administration fee is 60
