B. Mr. Juan has 24 students in his class. Some of his students are also in the talent show.

C. The rest of the students in the talent show are from Mrs. Lee’s class and Mr. Greg’s class.
Mrs. Lee has 23 students in her class, and 7 of them are in the talent show.
There are 4 more students from Mr. Greg’s class than from Mr. Juan’s class in the talent show.
The number of students in the talent show from Mrs. Lee’s class is greater than the number from Mr. Juan’s class and fewer than the number from Mr. Greg’s class.
