1 answer

To find the number of students who drink coffee with cream, we do the following calculation:

1. Find the number of students who drink coffee:
4 out of 5 students drink coffee.
Therefore, the number of students who drink coffee = (4/5) * 24000 = 19200

2. Find the number of students who drink coffee with cream:
1 out of 6 students who drink coffee adds cream.
Therefore, the number of students who drink coffee with cream = (1/6) * 19200 = 3200

Therefore, the number of students who drink coffee with cream is 3200.
