5 answers

N( A or B) = N(A) + N(B) - N(A and B)

let the number of students be x

100% x = 90%x + 85% x - 150
x = .9x + .85x - 150
- .75x = -150
x = 200

There are 200 students in the school
Is very good
200
N( A or B) = N(A) + N(B) - N(A and B)

let the number of students be x

100% x = 90%x + 85% x - 150
x = .9x + .85x - 150
- .75x = -150
x = 200

There are 200 students in the school
