there are 281 students taking college algebra or calculus. 180 are taking college algebra, 146 are taking calculus, and 45 are taking both college algebra and calculus. how many are taking algebra but not calculus
To find the number of students taking college algebra but not calculus, we can subtract the number of students taking both from the total number of students taking algebra:
180 (total taking college algebra) - 45 (taking both college algebra and calculus) = 135.
Therefore, there are 135 students taking college algebra but not calculus.
To find the number of students taking algebra but not calculus, we can subtract the number of students taking both from the total number of students taking algebra.
Total number of students taking algebra = 180
Number of students taking both algebra and calculus = 45
Number of students taking algebra but not calculus = Total number of students taking algebra - Number of students taking both algebra and calculus
Number of students taking algebra but not calculus = 180 - 45
Number of students taking algebra but not calculus = 135
Therefore, 135 students are taking algebra but not calculus.
