Algebra.Com's Answer #573590 by josmiceli(19441)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! I do this with a Venn diagram, which is 3 intersecting \n" ); document.write( "circles. When you draw them, you create 7 regions \n" ); document.write( "including the center which is the intersection of \n" ); document.write( "all 3 circles \n" ); document.write( "------------------------ \n" ); document.write( "I label them: \n" ); document.write( "N: live in Newtown \n" ); document.write( "B: travel by bus \n" ); document.write( "D: eat school dinners \n" ); document.write( "--------------------- \n" ); document.write( "(1) \n" ); document.write( "5 pupils live in New Town, travel to school by bus and eat school dinners. \n" ); document.write( "That is the intersection of the 3 circles label it \n" ); document.write( "(2) \n" ); document.write( "3 pupils live in New Town, travel to school by bus but do not eat school dinners \n" ); document.write( "Label that region \n" ); document.write( "(3) \n" ); document.write( "9 pupils do not live in New Town, do not travel to school by bus and do not eat school dinners. \n" ); document.write( "This is outside all 3 circles.
