The table shows the number of students in a class who play on a school team and/or are members of a school club:
Play on a School Team Do Not Play
on a School Team Total
Club Member 12 ? 15
Not a Club Member 11 10 21
Total 23 13 36
What is the missing number in the table? (4 points)
3
5
25
27
The missing number in the table is 5.
This can be determined by solving for the total number of students who are Club Members:
Total Club Members = Total - Not a Club Member
Total Club Members = 36 - 21
Total Club Members = 15
Then, to find the number of Club Members who play on a School Team:
Club Member and Play on a School Team = Total Club Members - Club Member and Do Not Play on a School Team
Club Member and Play on a School Team = 15 - 12
Club Member and Play on a School Team = 3
So, the missing number in the table is 3, and the correct option is 3.
