Answer 1

Answer:

e) 294 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 394 children in total and 169 do not like either ice-cream, the number of children who likes at least 1 ice cream is

394 - 169 = 225 children

Out of 225 children, 150 like pistachio icecream, some of them may like both. Therefore the number of children who likes ONLY chocolate icecream is

225 - 150 = 75 children

Similarly, out of 225 children, 175 like chocolate icecream, some of them may like both. Therefore the number of children who likes ONLY pitaschio icecream is

225 - 175 = 50 children

So the total number of children who like at most only 1 kind of ice cream is

75 + 50 + 169 = 294 children
