X=12 you take away 1x from four then divide 36 by 3x
1/2 / 3 = 1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6
each person will get 1/6 lb of chocolate

- <u><em>About 0.22</em></u>
Explanation:
There are two sets:
- Set W of incoming seniors who took AP World History, and
- Set E of incoming seniors who took AP European History
And there is a subset, which is the intersection of those two sets:
- Subset W ∩ E of senior students who took both.
The incoming seniors who are allowed to enroll in AP U.S. History, call them the subset S, is the set of those students that belong to W or E or both W ∩E.
By property of sets:
- S = W + E - W∩E = 175 + 36 - 33 = 178
Then, 178 out of 825 incoming seniors took one or both courses, and the desired probability of a randomly selected incoming senior is allowed to enroll in AP U.S. History is:
