Question

***Please respond as detailed and concisely as possible, because I am extremely mathematically challenged!!!!***

Jordan asked 40 students at his school cafeteria what they bought for lunch. He recorded his results in the table below

TABLE
- 34 students bought a beverage
- 18 bought soup
- 5 people bought no beverage or soup



a) How many students bought a beverage and soup?

b) How many students bought only a beverage or only soup?

c) *Draw a Venn diagram to show the data*

Answer 1

Answer:A: 34

B: 19

Explanation:

We know there are 40 students and 5 of them did not buy anything.

We are left with 35 students who bought something.

34 of the 35 students bought a beverage that means only 1 student who bought a beverage did not buy a soup

So we can conclude that 34 student bought a beverage and soup

So now we know only 1 student bought only a Beverage and the prompt says 18 students only bought soup

18+1 =19

Venn Diagram would be of the 35 students

One circle = Soup

second circle = Beverage

Where the students bought both would be where the circles overlap
