Anime Girl, this is the solution:

We have a total of 70 students (male and female), in consequence:

• Students that got an A = 18

,

• Students that got a B = 28

,

• Stiudents that got a C = 24

• P(A or B) = A + B / Total students

• P(A or B) = 18 + 28/70

,

• P(A or B )= 46/70

,

• P(A or B) = 23/35 (Simplifying) or 0.66
