Suppose events A, B, C satisfy the following conditions: A and B^c are mutually exclusive, B and C^c are mutually exclusive, P(A^c B) = 0.2, P(B^c C) = 0.15, and P(C) = 0.6. Find P(A).

I've tried searching up similar problems, and I am still confused on how to find P(A).

I know how to do simple probability problems that have mutually exclusive events, but I am stuck. Thanks so much for any help.

My ^c means compliment, so A^c means compliment of A. Revised version of my problem with U and N: Suppose events A, B, C satisfy the following conditions: A and B^c are mutually exclusive, B and C^c are mutually exclusive, P(A^c N B) = 0.2, P(B^c N C) = 0.15, and P(C) = 0.6. Find P(A).
