Answer: 6 songs will be on the final CD.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of songs that the band expected to put on their next CD is 12.

The band writes and records 25 % more songs than they expect to put on the CD. This means that the additional number of songs that the band recorded is

25/100 * 12 = 0.25 * 12 = 3

Therefore, after writing and recording, the number of song was

12 + 3 = 15

During the editing process, 60 % of the songs are removed. It means that the number of songs that were removed is

60/100 * 15 = 0.6 * 15 = 9

Therefore, the number of songs that will be on the final CD is

15 - 9 = 6
