"48 drink coffee, 25 drink both tea & coffee"

so 48-25 = 23 people just drink coffee

x = # of people who just drink tea

(# of people who drink just coffee)+(# of people who drink just tea)+(# of people who drink both) = total

23+x+25 = 100

x+48 = 100

x = 100 - 48

x = 52

There are 52 people who drink tea only.
