Answer: 24, b
Explanation:
So it said "In the Math Club", 67% are not in the literature club. We also know that this 67% is 16 people.
Now we can set up an equation to find the total number of people in the math club. Let's say the total number of people in the Math club is x, so 0.67x = 17, and x = 25.37 rounded. So if 25 people in total, 16 not in the literature club, then that means 25-16 = 9 people are in both the Math club and the Literature club.
So of the students "Not in the Math Club", it said that 78 percent are not in the Literature Club. This means 22 percent are in the literature club. We also know 4 people are in the literature club.
Now we can set up an equation to find the total number of people not in the math club. Let's say the total number of people not in the Math club is x, so 0.22x = 4, x = 18.18 rounded. So if 18 in total, 4 in the literature club, than 14 not in the literature club.
Since x = 9, and y = 14, x+y will equal 23, rounding up to 24 since we rounded down the total number of people.
