Question

In a survey of college students, each of the following was found. Of these students, 355 owned a tablet, 292 owned a laptop, 280 owned a gaming system, 191 owned a
tablet and a laptop. 198 owned a tablet and a gaming system, 136 owned a laptop and a gaming system, 66 owned a tablet, a laptop, and a gaming system, and 24
owned none of these devices. Complete parts a) through e) below.
a) How many college students were surveyed?
(Simplify your answer.)

Answer 1

Add all the numbers together to find the total amount of college students surveyed.

355 + 292 + 280 + 191 + 198 + 136 + 66 + 24 = 1,542

The number is already simplified considering it's a whole number. The answer is either 1,542 or 1,500

(I say either because when it says to simplify I'm not sure if they want it to be rounded.)
