Question

Each student at a particular school participated in at least one type of activity—sports or music. 50 students participate in both sports and music. 200 students participate in sports. 50 students participate in music only. There are a total of 250 students at the school. How many students only participate in sports?

Answer 1

Answer: 150 students participate in sports only.

Step-by-step explanation: In a venn diagram, 50 goes in the middle section for the 50 students that participate in both music and sports. 50 also goes on the side for music only. That makes 100 students. 150 goes on the sports only side because 150 + 50 + 50 = 250 students that attend the school.
