To determine how many of the males play baseball, we can add up the number of males who play both sports and the number of males who play only baseball.
We know that 120 of the males play both sports, so we can subtract that from the total number of males who play basketball to find the number of males who play only basketball.
250 males play basketball - 120 males play both sports = 130 males play only basketball.
Since some males play only baseball and some play both sports, we know that the number of males who play only baseball is the same as the total number of baseball players minus the number of males who play both sports.
350 males total - 250 males who play basketball = 100 males who play only baseball.
Therefore, 100 males play baseball.
Of 350 male athletes at a high school, some play only basketball, some play only baseball, and some do both. If 250 of the males play basketball, and 120 play both sports, how many of the males play baseball?
