Answer: There are 32 students who like brussels sprouts but dislike beans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of students eat in the cafeteria = 120

Fraction dislike lime beans = \dfrac{2}{3}

Fraction who dislike lime beans and brussles sprouts both = \dfrac{2}{3}\times \dfrac{3}{5}

Fraction who dislikes lime beans but not brussles is given by

\dfrac{2}{3}(1-\dfrac{3}{5})\\\\=\dfrac{2}{3}\times \dfrac{2}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{15}

So, Number of students who like brussels sprouts but dislike lima beans is given by

\dfrac{4}{15}\times 120\\\\=32

Hence, there are 32 students who like brussels sprouts but dislike beans.

dem82 [27]
Let's call the team members: y(ou), k, ma, mi, d, s , that's 6 members.

We know that the number of candies is 18+23+20+28 (which is 89) plus whatever Simon and Doug found.

If the average per person is 22, then all people in total found 6*22=132.

We don't know how much doug and Simon found, but together they found 132-89=32+11=43,

Once we know how much Doug found, we can subtract it from 43 and we'll know.

From all the people so far, Michelle found the most, but it could be that either Doug or Simon found more: the problem is we don't have enough information now to find out.
