Final answer:

To find the number of students taking Calculus but not Algebra, subtract the number of students taking both from the total number of students taking Calculus.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of students taking Calculus but not Algebra, we need to subtract the number of students taking both College Algebra and Calculus from the total number of students taking Calculus.

Let's break down the given information:

  • Total students taking College Algebra or Calculus: 520
  • Students taking College Algebra: 368
  • Students taking Calculus: 190
  • Students taking both College Algebra and Calculus: 38

To find the number of students taking Calculus but not Algebra:

  1. Subtract the number of students taking both from the total number of students taking Calculus: 190 - 38 = 152

So, 152 students are taking Calculus but not Algebra.
