Answers
the answer is 115
coffee = 93
juice = 47
both coffee and juice = 25
only coffee = 93-25 = 68
only juice = 47 - 25 = 22
Total people may visit = 68+22+25=115
Answer:
115 people visited the buffet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- At a breakfast buffet,93 people have chosen coffee, 47 have chosen juice and 25 people have chosen both coffee and juice.
- Also,each person chosen at least one of these beverage
Need To Find:
How many people have visited the buffet
Solution:
According to question,
Number of people who have chosen coffee = n(C) = 93
Number of people who have chosen juice = n(J) = 47
Number of people who chosen both coffee and juice = n(C∩J) = 25
Now as we know,
n(A∪B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A∩B)
Now as per question,
Each person has chosen at least one of these beverage
Therefore, using the above formula to find number of people who have visited the buffet
n(C∪J) = n(C) + n(J) - n(C∩J)
n(C∪J) = 93 + 47 -25
n(C∪J) = 115
Hence, 115 people visited the buffet.
