Question

4000 families were randomly selected for a survey. 50% of them read the newspaper in nepali language, 45% read it in English language and 25% read in neither of these languages. How many families read the newspaper in both the languages? Also find the number of families who read exactly one of these papers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

2000 families read the newspaper in the Nepali language.

1800 families read it in the English language.

3800 families read the newspaper in both.

Step-by-step explanation:

#1. individual

convert % to decimal ( x ÷ 100 )

0.5 x 4000 = 2000

0.45 x 4000 = 1800

#2. together

2000 + 1800 = 3800

OR

50 + 45 = 95

95 ÷ 100 = 0.95

0.95 x 4000 = 3800
