Question

You randomly survey men and women about whether they plan to watch a football game on Sunday afternoon. A total of 40 men plan to watch a football game and a total of 17 women do not plan to watch a football game. A total of 45 women are surveyed. A total of 33 people do not plan to watch a football game. How many people did you survey?

Answer 1

101 people

Explanation:

If a total of 33 people do not plan to watch a football game, and from this 33 people, 17 are women, we have that 33 - 17 = 16 men do not plan to watch a football game.

If 40 men plan to watch and 16 men do not plan to watch, the total number of men is 40 + 16 = 56

So if the total number of women is 45, we have that the total number of people is 45 + 56 = 101 people
