Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

60-25=35

35-20=15

15-10=5

5 people dont play either of them

Answer 2

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can add the number of basketball players and the number of volleyball players:

25 + 20 = 45

But we know that there are ten players who are counted twice because they play both. So we subtract 10:

45 - 10 = 35

And that is the total number of students who play either basketball or volleyball. Now to figure out those that play neither sport we subtract the number of students by the number of players:

60 - 35 = 25

That’s the number of students who don’t play one of those sports.
