If the next number is 125% of the previous number, that means that the previous number is increasing by 25% each time.
The multiplier for increasing by 25% is:
(100 + 25) ÷ 100 = 1.25
So on day one, there are 64 responses. That means on day two, there will be:
---> 64 x 1.25 = 80 responses
On day 3, there will be:
---> 80 x 1.25 = 100 responses
Finally, on day 4, there will be:
---> 100 x 1.25 = 125 responses
A quicker way of getting this would be to do:
64 x 1.25³ since you are multiplying by 1.25 3 times
