Greg has 16 clients. Dolores has 75% as many clients as Greg, then

16 - 100%

x - 75%

Write proportion:

[tex]\dfrac{16}{x}=\dfrac{100}{75},\\ \\x=\dfrac{16\cdot 75}{100}=12.[/tex]

This means that Dolores has 12 clients.

Together Dolores and Greg have 16+12=28 clients.

If Robert has 25% as many clients as Greg and Dolores together, then

28 - 100%

y - 25%

Mathematically,

[tex]\dfrac{28}{y}=\dfrac{100}{25},\\ \\y=\dfrac{28\cdot 25}{100}=7.[/tex]

Therefore, Greg, Dolores and Robert have 16+12+7=35 clients.

Answer: 35 clients.
