25
Steps/Work
Formula for calculating two overlapping sets:
A + B - both + NOT(A or B) = Total
so in our task we have equation:
41 (french) + 22 (german) - 9 (both) + NOT = 79
54 + NOT = 79
NOT = 79 - 54 = 25
So answer is C
A + B - both + NOT(A or B) = Total
so in our task we have equation:
41 (french) + 22 (german) - 9 (both) + NOT = 79
54 + NOT = 79
NOT = 79 - 54 = 25
So answer is C
