Question

A pizza chain was willing to pay $1 to each person interviewed about his or her likes and dis- likes of types of pizza crust. Of the people interviewed, 200 liked thin crust, 270 liked thick crust, 70 liked both, and 50 did not like either type of crust. What was the total cost of the survey?

Answer 1

Total cost of the survey = $450

Explanation:

Given:

Cost for each person = $1

Liked thin crust = 200 people

Liked thick crust = 270 people

Both crust like = 70 people

50 people did not like either type of crust.

We need to find the total cost of the survey.

Solution:

Number of people who like thin crust or thick crust.

⇒ 200 + 270 - 70

⇒ 470 - 70

⇒ 400

So, 400 people likes thin crust OR thick crust.

And, also 50 peoples did not likes either thin crust OR thick crust.

So, we add 50 people who did not like any type of pizza.

⇒ 400 + 50

Therefore, total cost of the survey = $450
