Question

There are 190 students taking band, chorus, or both. If there are 180 students taking band and 60 students in both band and chorus, how many students are only in chorus?

70
60
10
120

Answer 1

The answer would be 10. I know this because I got it right on my assignment. Have a great day!

Answer 2

If there are 180 students taking band and 60 students in both band and chorus, then 180-60=120 students are taking only band.

Now:

• 120 students are taking band;
• 60 students are taking both band and chorus;
• 190 students in total.

Then 190-(120+60)=190-180=10 students are taking only chorus.

Answer: correct choice is C.
