Do Not Like Mathematics

Total

Like Science

18

?

38

Do Not Like Science

16

6

32

Total

34

26

70



What is the missing number in the table?
10
12
20
56

Answer 1

Answer: I agree 20 is the answer how I figured it out is:

Step-by-step explanation: 38-18= 20

Answer 2

The total should equal how many like and do not like science.
Since there are 26 total in that row, and 6 that do not like science, that leaves 20 that do like science. 20 should be the missing number.
