Answer: There are 135 candidates.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that:

52 offer biology

60 offers history

96 offers maths

21 offered both biology and history

22 offered maths and biology

16 offered maths and history

if 7 candidates offered all the subject.

We want to find the total number of candidates.

We start by adding the numbers for each particular exam:

(52 + 60 + 96)

Now, there are 21 that offered both biology and history, then these 21 are counted in the 52 for biology and in the 60 for history, then we need to subtract 21 (because we are counting it two times)

(52 + 60 + 96) - 21

The same happens for the 22 that offered maths and biology, and 16 that offered maths and history, then we get:

(52 + 60 + 96) - 21 - 22 - 16

And there are another 7 that offered for the 3 subjects, then we are counting these 7 ones 3 times, this means that we need to subtract 7 two times.

then we get:

(52 + 60 + 96) - 21 - 22 - 16 - 7 - 7

This is the total number of candidates, if we solve the equation we get:

candidates = (52 + 60 + 96) - 21 - 22 - 16 - 7 - 7 = 135

So we can conclude that there are 135 candidates.

5-1-9/3-9 What do I do?
Contact [7]
Rewrite it to simplify using order of operations.

P E M D A S
() ^2 × ÷ + -

So nw it's
5-1-(9÷3)-9

no now it's
(5-1)-(3-9)
4-(-6) I wrote the negative in parentheses to show its not an additional subtraction sign. also if you look it's sort of a plus sign. so when you subtraction (-6) from 4 it's actually 4+6

4-(-6)=10.

that's what I got. hope this helps.

<h3>Exact Answer: (160/3)pi</h3><h3>Approximate Answer: 167.47</h3>

The approximate answer results when you use pi = 3.14, and this approximate answer is rounded to two decimal places

note that (160/3)pi is the same as 160pi/3

========================================================

Work Shown:

r = radius = 4

h = height = 10

V = volume of cone

V = (1/3)pi*r^2*h

V = (1/3)pi*4^2*10

V = (160/3)pi exact answer

V = (160/3)*3.14

V = 167.46666....

V = 167.47 approximate answer rounded to two decimal places
