at college 62 students were memebers of the chior or clubs 41 were members of the choir, and 12 were members of the chior and clubs. how many students were members of only clubs
To find the number of students who were members of only clubs, we need to subtract the number of students who were members of both the choir and clubs from the total number of students who were members of clubs.
Let's denote:
C = number of students who were members of the choir
CC = number of students who were members of both the choir and clubs
T = total number of students who were members of clubs
We are given that C = 41 and CC = 12.
To find T, we subtract both C and CC from the total number of students in the choir and clubs:
T = 62 - C - CC
T = 62 - 41 - 12
T = 9
Therefore, there were 9 students who were members of only clubs.
To find the number of students who were members of only clubs, we need to subtract the number of students who were members of both the choir and clubs from the total number of club members.
Let's break down the information given:
Total number of choir and club members = 62
Number of choir members = 41
Number of students who were members of both choir and clubs = 12
To find the number of students who were members of only clubs:
Number of students who were members of only clubs = Total number of club members - Number of students who were members of both choir and clubs
Number of students who were members of only clubs = 62 - 12
Number of students who were members of only clubs = 50
Therefore, there were 50 students who were members of only clubs.
