To find out how many fewer students voted for oranges than voted for apples or grapes combined, we first need to determine the total number of votes for apples and grapes.
Apples: 6
Grapes: 11
Now, we add the votes for apples and grapes together:
Total votes for apples and grapes:
6 (apples) + 11 (grapes) = 17
Next, we find out how many fewer students voted for oranges compared to this total:
Votes for oranges: 5
Now, we subtract the votes for oranges from the total votes for apples and grapes:
17 (apples and grapes) - 5 (oranges) = 12
Thus, **12 fewer students voted for oranges than voted for apples or grapes combined**.
