Need help with maths question

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
15 years out of school and with a non-science degree under my belt, my maths is a bit rusty. Need to brush up for a computer-based test.

The question is this:

"Some tourists return to the same country several times in the same year. In 2000, it was noted that in Italy 80% of tourists made a single trip to the country, 15% came twice, and 5% at least 3 times. How many individual tourists visited Italy in 2000?"

Then there is a table: "Tourists staying at least 1 night when visiting a country (in thousands)" and under Italy the figure for the year 2000 is 22,800.

The answer is multiple-choice:

Up to 20,330,000
Up to 21,500,000
Up to 21,670,000
Up to 22,800,000
Up to 20,220,000

I can click on Show result to know the right answer, but don't know how to get there... Ideas?
