The number of males that do not play the sport play is 252

How to determine the number of males that do not play

Total number of students at school = 1000

Students that play, male = 312

Students that play, female = 220

Students that do not play, male = ?

Students that do not play, female = 216

Let x represent the number of males that do not play school sport

The equation will be,

Student that play + Students that do not play = 1000

312 + 220 + x + 216 = 1000

748 + x = 1000

x = 1000 - 748

x = 252

Therefore, the number of males that do not play the sport play is 252
