In a school of 464 students, 89 are in band, 215 are in sports, of which 31 are involved in both activities. How many students are involved in neither activities?
464 - 215 - 89 + 31 = ?
464-215=249, 249-89=160, 160-31=129 Ans:129
To find the number of students involved in neither band nor sports, we need to subtract the students who are in band, the students who are in sports, and the students who are involved in both activities from the total number of students.
First, calculate the number of students who are in band or sports. To do this, add the number of students in band (89) and the number of students in sports (215):
89 + 215 = 304
Next, subtract the number of students who are involved in both activities (31) from the sum we just calculated:
304 - 31 = 273
Finally, subtract the result from the total number of students (464):
464 - 273 = 191
Therefore, there are 191 students involved in neither band nor sports.
