Answer 2

Answer:

100 students like watching football.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no. of students (N) = 500

No. of students that like watching basketball (A) = 35% of 500

                                                                                = (35/100) x 500

                                                                                = 175

No. of students that like watching baseball (B) = 15% of 500

                                                                             = (15/100) x 500

                                                                             = 75

No. of students that like watching soccer (C) = 30% of 500

                                                                           = (30/100) x 500

                                                                           = 150

No. of students that like watching football (D) = N - A - B- C

                                                                            = 500 - 175 - 75 - 150

                                                                            = 100
