Correct result:

n =  760

Solution:

$$\begin{gathered} f=12500 \\ v=19000 \\ c={\displaystyle \frac{2}{5}}\cdot c+{\displaystyle \frac{2}{5}}\cdot v={\displaystyle \frac{2}{5}}\cdot 7600+{\displaystyle \frac{2}{5}}\cdot 19000=7600 \\ n={\displaystyle \frac{1}{10}}\cdot c={\displaystyle \frac{1}{10}}\cdot 7600=760 \end{gathered}$$
