40 grew blueberries 
27 grew strawberries 
11 grew both raspberries and blueberries 
10 grew both raspberries and strawberries 
14 grew both blueberries and strawberries 
4 grew all three types 
9 grew none of these three 
Create a venn diagram to relect

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! A survey of fruit tree growers showed the following 
75 grew raspberries 
40 grew blueberries 
27 grew strawberries 
11 grew both raspberries and blueberries 
10 grew both raspberries and strawberries 
14 grew both blueberries and strawberries 
4 grew all three types 
9 grew none of these three 
Create a venn diagram to relect 
a) how many grew only raspberries? 
b) how many grew both strawberries and raspberries, but not blueberries? 
c) how many grew only strawberries? 
d) how many grew none of these three or only blueberries? 
e) how many fruit tree growers were surveyed? 
 
3 overlapping circles (R and B and S), 8 areas (RO, BO, SO, RBO, RSO, BSO, RBS, NRBS) 
circle R for raspberries, R only or RO just raspberries 
circle B for blueberries, B only or BO just blueberries 
circle S for strawberries S only or SO just for strawberries 
RB both raspberries and blueberries, RBO just raspberries and blueberries 
RS both raspberries and strawberries, RSO just raspberries and strawberries 
BS both blueberries and strawberries, BSO just blueberries and strawberries 
RBS rasberries, blueberries, and strawberries 
NRBS is none of the 3 types 
R = RO + RBO + RSO + RBS = 75 
B = BO + RBO + BSO + RBS = 40 
S = SO + RSO + BSO + RBS = 27 
RBS = 4 (all 3 types) 
RB = RBO + RBS = 11 = RBO + 4 --> RBO = 7 (not strawberries) 
RS = RSO + RBS = 10 = RSO + 4 --> RSO = 6 (not blueberries) 
BS = BSO + RBS = 14 = BSO + 4 --> BSO = 10 (not raspberries) 
R = RO + RBO + RSO + RBS = 75 = RO + 7 + 6 + 4 = RO + 17 --> RO = 58 (raspberries only) 
B = BO + RBO + BSO + RBS = 40 = BO + 7 + 10 + 4 = BO + 21 --> BO = 19 (blueberries only) 
S = SO + RSO + BSO + RBS = 27 = SO + 6 + 10 + 4 = SO + 20 --> SO = 7 (strawberries only) 
8 areas --> RO = 58, BO = 19, SO = 7, RBO = 7, RSO = 6, BSO = 10, RBS = 4, NRBS = 9 
total fruit tree growers surveyed is sum of all 8 areas or 58 + 19 + 7 + 7 + 6 + 10 + 4 + 9 = 111 + 9 = 120 
none of the 3 types or only blueberries --> 9 + 19 = 28
