Question 934863: Of 100 staff members of a school, 48 drink coffee, 25 drink both tea & coffee& everyone drinks either tea or coffee, how many drink tea?
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! "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.
