Revision as of 04:31, October 13, 2009

:There are 1000 students in a school. 35% like math, 60% like history, and 75% like both (disregard the existence of other subjects). How many students only like history? (I messed up on the quoting of the problem, but you can figure out what I'm trying to convey)<br />

You did not need to readjust the percentages because a new item was added to the "Statistical" list. [[User:ZacharyM|ZacharyM]] 00:21, 13 October 2009 (EDT)

::I believe the list refers to the PRIMARY reason, not contributing factors. Incidentally, your math problem remains flawed: If 75% of the school likes both math and history, then at LEAST 75% of the class must like math, and similarly for history.
