First, find the number of guitarists. 5/8*64=40.

Now, create an equation. x + 4x = 40
5x = 40
x= 8

BaLLatris [955]
Hey there! 
<span>Here are the steps involved: 
</span>
1.Change 65% into a decimal. Move the decimal two places to the left and you get 0.65.

2. Multiply 0.65 by 50.
<span>140 x 0.65 = 91.

3. Since you are decreasing 140 by 65%, subtract 140 by 91. 
140-91= 49
