Olin [163]3 years ago

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 60 pupils in the survey

32 are boys, so we assume 28 are girls

12 of the boys said cola was their favourite

4 boys liked water best.

That is a total of 16 boys who prefer either cola or water out of 32 total boys

There are 16 boys leftover who must have milk as there favourite

9 girls liked water best

21 pupils altogether said milk was there favourite. We know there are 16 boys who said milk was there favourite, meaning 5 of these pupils must be girls.

That means 9 girls have water as their favourite and 5 have milk as their favourite, a total of 14

We know there are 28 girls total. That means 14 of them must have listed cola as their favourite drink.

There are 14 girls and 12 boys who said cola was their favourite, a total of 26 pupils

There are 135 people in a sport centre. 73 people use the gym. 59 people use the swimming pool. 31 people use the track. 19 peop
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

24 people

Step-by-step explanation:

((The numbers are up there, so I am not going to define each variable.))

For starters, there is no overlap between the double facilities groups, except the triple facility users, so:

19 + 9 + 16 - 4 = 40 people

Since there is overlap between single and double groups, you will need to subtract, so:

Gym: 73 - 19 - 16 = 38

Pool: 59 - 19 - 9 = 31

Track: 31 - 9 - 16 = 6

Total for 1 facility: 38 + 31 + 6 - 4 = 71 people

((Minus 4 because the 4 triple facility users overlap the double facility users (problem is in layers: layer 1 minus layer 2, then minus layer 3).))

Next, add the totals:

71 + 40 = 111 people (using facilities)

135 - 111 = 24 people (who didn't use any)

(((I'm not 100% sure on this answer, so if someone could check my work, that would be much appreciated.)))
