\n" ); document.write( "There are 150 people at an International Medical Conference.
\n" ); document.write( "40 are Africans, 70 are women and 110 are doctors.
\n" ); document.write( "12 of the women are Africans, 46 of the doctors are women and 31 of the Africans are doctors.
\n" ); document.write( "If 5 of the African men are not doctors:
\n" ); document.write( "(a) how many of the African women are doctors ?
\n" ); document.write( "(b) how many of the men are neither African nor doctors?
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "        In the post by  @CPhill,  his solution to part  (a)  is  OUT  of  LOGIC,  so it is  INCORRECT.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "        Below is my solution for part  (a).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(a)   How many of the  African women are doctors ?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "              The solution is in 3 logical steps.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     (1)  We are given that there are 40 Africans, and 12 of women are Africans. \r\n" );
document.write( "          Hence, the number of African men is 40-12 = 28.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     (2)  Next, we are given that 5 of African men are not doctors.\r\n" );
document.write( "          Hence, 28-5 = 23 is the number of African men who are doctors.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     (3)  Next, we are given that 31 of Africans are doctors.\r\n" );
document.write( "          Hence, the number of African women who are doctors is 31-23 = 8.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  The number of African women who are doctors is 8.\r\n" );
