Question 1028404: In an arabic school, English and French are offered as foreign languages. Each student must study AT LEAST one foreign language. If 41 students study English and 357 students study French, find the number of students in the school.
The answer is 997 students but I don't see how that happens.

Since you do not know how many students are taking both classes, you cannot give a proper answer. There are clearly facts missing from the problem. From what you have given, the answer cannot be 997. Please repost this and someone here will help you.
