this is a two part problem...
step one:
how many students are part time?
since 1/8 are full-time, the remaining 7/8 are part time, so:
4000%2A%287%2F8%29=3500
step two:
how many part time students are in favor of the soccer team?
4/5 of the answer to part one will be your answer:
3500%2A%284%2F5%29=2800
