Greg = 80

Dolores = 75% of Greg

Robert = 25% of Dolores + Greg

Dolores: x/80 = 75/100

Cross multiply

6000 divide by 100 is 60

Robert: 60 + 80 = 140

x/140 = 25/100

Cross multiply

3500 divde by 100 is 35

80 + 60 + 35 = 175

175 clients

*This is sort of embarrassing, but I'm not sure if "as many" means multiply it 60 by 80. But I chose not to multiply because it makes more sense.

Hopes this helps.
