In a certain Algebra 2 class of 20 students, 8 of them play basketball and 7 of them play baseball. There are 8 students who play neither sport. What is the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays basketball or baseball?

Answer:

3/4

Explanation:

add the students who play baceball and basketball together it will be your numerator

the total amount of students will be your denomanator

then simplify

by the way there can not be 23 students in a class that only has 20 kids so this answer may be wrong according to your wording

sorry
