insufficient data
e.g. do the 12 boys play ONLY soccer ? etc
To find the total number of boys who play basketball, soccer, or baseball, we need to add up the number of boys for each sport. Let's add them up:
Number of boys playing basketball = 14
Number of boys playing soccer = 12
Number of boys playing baseball = 16
To find the total, we add these numbers together:
Total boys playing basketball, soccer, or baseball = 14 + 12 + 16
Total boys playing basketball, soccer, or baseball = 42
Therefore, there are 42 boys in total who play basketball, soccer, or baseball.
