Question

At the local high school, 240 students reported they have eaten the cafeteria’s hot lunch, 135 said they have eaten the cold lunch, and 82 said they have eaten both hot and cold lunch. If there are 418 Students in the school, how many bring lunch from home

Answer 1

207

Explanation:

To determine how many students bring lunch from home, we need to subtract the number of students who eat in the cafeteria or have a cold lunch from the total number of students.

First, let's find out how many students eat in the cafeteria only. We have 240 students who reported eating the cafeteria's hot lunch, and 82 students who said they eat both hot and cold lunch. To find the number of students who eat only in the cafeteria, we subtract the number of students who eat both from the total number of students who eat hot lunch:

240 - 82 = 158

Next, let's find out how many students have a cold lunch only. We have 135 students who reported eating a cold lunch, but this number also includes the 82 students who eat both hot and cold lunch. To find the number of students who have a cold lunch only, we subtract the number of students who eat both from the total number of students who eat cold lunch:

135 - 82 = 53

Now, let's find out how many students bring lunch from home. To do this, we subtract the number of students who eat in the cafeteria only and the number of students who have a cold lunch only from the total number of students:

418 - 158 - 53 = 207

Therefore, 207 students bring lunch from home.
