TELEVISIONS in 1999, 68% of households with tv's subscribed to cable tv. if 8,000 more subscribers are added to the number of households with cable, the total number of households with cable Tv would be 67,600,000. How much households were there with tv in 1999

Answer 1

Let x be the number of households with TV.

So .68x would be the number of households with cable.

If 8000 were added to the above number, it would be equal to 67,600,000.

Thus we have our equation:

.68x + 8000 = 67600000

Solving for x:

.68x = 67592000

x = 99,400,000
