Question

In a class of 55 students, 15 students liked Maths but not English and 18 students liked English but

not Maths. If 5 students did not like both, how many students liked both subjects?​

Answer 1

I think it's the remaining students, 17.

Explanation:

15 + 18 = 33 (students that like one subject but not the other)

33 + 5 = 38 ( adding 5 because of the 5 student that dislike both)

38 is the number of students that either don't like both subjects or like one but now the other, so now you would subtract it by the total number of students (55).

55 - 38 = 17

The remaining students are who I believe like both subjects. The remaining number of students are 17.

Answer 2

17 is the correct answer
