Question

The eighth grade class at Seven Bridges Middle School has 93 students. Each student takes a current events class, a foreign language class, or both a current events class and a foreign language class. There are 70 eighth graders taking a current events class, and there are 54 eighth graders taking a foreign language class. How many eighth graders take only a current events class and not a foreign language class?

Answer 1

31

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of eighth graders take only a current events class and not a foreign language class is shown below:-

We will assume the x that shows the number of students which we will take both languages

So, the equation will be

70 + 54 - x = 93

-x = 93 - 124

x = 31 students

So the number of eighth graders only take a current event class is

= 70 - 39

= 31 students
