Question

My math teacher,mr.numeric, went to the auto show last weekend. I made the mistake of asking him what he saw.here was his response: I’m glad you asked. I made several interesting observations. As you might have guessed, every red car was a sports car, but I found it odd that half of all the blue cars were sports cars. Interestingly, a salesman told me that half of all the sports cars were red. I counted 40 blue cars and 30 red cars. Now can you tell me how many sports cars were neither blue nor red?

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

all red cars were sports cars (30) half of the blue cars were sports cars (20) if 30 is half of all the sports cars, and 20 is 2/3 of half, then the 1/3 left is 10.
