A. 20
B. 14
C. 42
D. 28

Answer 1

B. 14

Explanation:

To know the answer to this question you jus thave to get the total sum of both Footbal and Baseball, this would be like this:

`(Baseball+Footbal)-(Hockey+Basketball)= Students that prefer Fb or BB ober Bk or Hk.`

So you put the number into the equation:

`(28+14)-(11+17)=\\(42)-(28)=14`

So you know that 14 students more prefer football or baseball over those who prefer Hockey or basketball.
