Hello there!

So, as we see here, we can see that they start out with 20,000 members. 25% of 20,000 would be 5,000 members.

So, every year, they lose 25% which is 5,000 members of they team. But then they gain 10,000 more.

So, practically, they get 5,000 every year even though they get 25% off.

5,000 would be the answer.
