Question

A company makes 110 bags. 30 of the bags have buttons but no zips. 23 of the bags have zips but no buttons. 23 of the bags have neither zips nor buttons. How many bags have zips on them?

Answer 1

34 of the bags have zips on them

Answer 2

Well, 30+23+23 = 76 which means there are only a total of 76 bags that are accounted for. 110-76 = 34 bags which we do not know if they have zips or not. If we assume they have zips, that would be 34+23 bags with zips which is 57 bags.
