Question

TAKE HOME ASSIGNMENT

In
a a competition, a school awarded medals in different categories. 36 medals in dance, 12
medals in dramatics and 18 medals in music. If these medals went to a total of 45 persons and
only 4 persons
got medals in all the three categories, how many received medals in exactly two
of these categories?

Answer 1

There were a total of 36+12+18=56 medals awarded.

We take away 8 because of the 4 people, leaving 48.

48-45=3, so 3 people received medals in exactly 2 categories.
