Question

The students in Mrs Homma's class are having a special lunch day.

Here are the students' orders.

 

Pies- 24

Juices- 16

Fruit Salads- ?

 

She knows that everyone ordered one pie. Ten students ordered a pie, a juice and a fruit salad. Three students ordered only a pie.

How many students ordered a fruit salad?

 

 

Answer 1

24 students total in the class.

3 had pie only

10 had pie, juice, and fruit salad

Since there were 16 who had juice, that means 6 had pie and juice

24-10-6-3=5

So, 5 students had pie and fruit salad.

10+5=15 students had fruit salad.
