Mischa is throwing a birthday party for her sister and decides to survey all who are attending on which ice cream flavor they prefer: chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, or a mix. She finds that 8 prefer chocolate, 6 prefer vanilla, 2 prefer strawberry, 14 prefer a mix of the three, and 3 don’t eat ice cream. If you were to draw a Venn diagram of your findings, which number would be located in the intersection of the three flavors?
1 answer
The number in the intersection of the three flavors (chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry) would be 14, as that represents the number of people who prefer a mix of the three flavors.
