Question

A large university chemistry course has a required textbook available for $ 154 and a recommended supplement for $ 36. The university bookstore finds, over time, that 15% of students enrolled in the course purchase only the textbook, while 75% buy both the textbook and the supplement. No students buy only the supplement. a) What percent of students buy neither the textbook nor the supplement from the bookstore

Answer 1

10% of students buy neither the textbook nor the supplement from the bookstore

Explanation:

We have that:

15% buy only the textbook.

75% buy both the textbook and the supplement.

None buy only the supplement.

a) What percent of students buy neither the textbook nor the supplement from the bookstore

15% + 75% = 90% buy at least one of them. So

100% - 90% = 10% buy neither.
