From the survey: 74 % of a nursery's mail-order customers spend more than $100 on plants each spring.

That means that less than $100 spends 26% mail-order customers (100 % - 74 % = 26 %).

We have to calculate 26 % of 125,000:

0.26 * 125,000 = 32,500

Answer: 32,500 mail-order customers will spend less than $100.
