One hundred people were surveyed about their breakfast preferences. They had to choose between french toast and pancakes and between sausage and bacon. The results are in the table below:

Category French Toast Pancakes
Sausage 25 21
Bacon 23 31

31/100 ***
27/50
23/50

Liking pancakes and liking bacon are not mutually exclusive events, because some people like both. Therefore,
P(P or B)
= P(P) + P(B) - P(P and B)
= [(21 + 31) + (23 + 31) - (31)]/100
= ?
