Question

200 People all speak at least one language, 73% speak german 62 % speak italian, how many speaks both languages ?

Answer 1

• 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.
