Answer:

  • late only: 15
  • extra-late only: 24
  • one type: 43
  • total trucks: 105

Explanation:

It works well when making a Venn diagram to start in the middle (6 carried all three), then work out.

For example, if 10 carried early and extra-late, then only 10-6 = 4 of those trucks carried just early and extra-late.

Similarly, if 30 carried early and late, and 4 more carried only early and extra-late, then 38-30-4 = 4 carried only early. In the attached, the "only" numbers for a single type are circled, to differentiate them from the "total" numbers for that type.

__

a) 15 trucks carried only late

b) 24 trucks carried only extra late

c) 4+15+24 = 43 trucks carried only one type

d) 38+67+56 -30-28-10 +6 +6 = 105 trucks in all went out
