total questions = 100
algebra questions = 60
difficult questions = 20
difficult algebra questions = 8
if algebra questions = 60, then non-algebra questions = 40 because 60 + 40 = 100.
if difficult algebra questions = 8, then difficult non-algebra questions = 12 because 8 + 12 = 20
we have:
total non-algebra questions = 40
difficult non-algebra questions = 12
non-algebra questions that are not difficult are therefore 40-12 = 28.
you have:
28 non-algebra questions that are not difficult
12 non-algebra questions that are difficult
52 algebra questions that are not difficult
8 algebra questions that are difficult.
the total is 28 + 12 + 52 + 8 = 100
total number of questions that are difficult = 8 + 12 = 20
total number of questions that are not difficult = 28 + 52 = 80
