Answer:

  • 70 people speak both languages

-----------------

Use formula:

  • Total = German speakers + Italian speakers - Both

We are given:

  • Total number of people = 200
  • German speakers = 73% of 200 = 0.73 * 200 = 146
  • Italian speakers = 62% of 200 = 0.62 * 200 = 124
  • Both = x

Substitute given and solve for x:

  • 200 = 146 + 124 - x
  • 200 = 270 - x
  • x = 270 - 200
  • x = 70

So, 70 people speak both German and Italian.
