Question

Anne is studying a group of rabbits. In the group, 30 of the rabbits are brown, 12 are male, and 7 are both brown and male. How many of the rabbits in Anne's group are brown or male or both?

Answer 1

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this using a Venn diagram or by analysis

We have 30 rabbits that are brown, 12 are male and 7 both brown and male

The number of rabbits that are brown but not male = 30 - 7 = 23

The number of rabbits that are male but not brown = 12 - 7 = 5

So number of rabbits that are brown or male or both = 23 + 7 + 5 = 35
