Steps/Work
could you use a venn diagram and just go with the number 100.
60 people order dessert and coffee... which is the union of D and C.
R=2/10 of D aren't in D U C = so 8/10 of D are in DUC which means =60 =8/10D. So D in total=75, and 15 D's aren't in D union C. which means 25 people are in C only + Neither.
B 25%
