Of 375 musicians at a high school, some play only in the jazz band, some play only for the marching band, and some do both. If 250 of them play in the jazz band, and 130 play in both, how many of the musicians are in the marching band?(1 point)Responses120120130130125125255
To find the number of musicians in the marching band, we need to subtract the number of musicians in the jazz band and the number of musicians who play in both from the total number of musicians.
Total - Jazz band - Both = Marching band
375 - 250 - 130 = Marching band
375 - 380 = Marching band
-5 = Marching band
There seems to be an error in the given information. The number of musicians in the marching band cannot be negative.

To find the number of musicians in the marching band, we need to subtract the number of musicians who play in both from the total number of musicians in the jazz band.
Number of musicians in the marching band = Total number of musicians in the jazz band - Number of musicians who play in both
Number of musicians in the marching band = 250 - 130 = 120
Therefore, there are 120 musicians in the marching band.
To find the number of musicians in the marching band, we need to subtract the number of musicians who play only in the jazz band from the total number of jazz band players.
First, let's find the number of musicians who play only in the jazz band. We know that 130 musicians play in both the jazz band and the marching band. Therefore, the number of musicians who play only in the jazz band can be calculated by subtracting the number of musicians who play in both from the total number of jazz band players:
Number of musicians who play only in the jazz band = Total number of jazz band players - Number of musicians who play in both
= 250 - 130
= 120
Now that we know there are 120 musicians who play only in the jazz band, we can calculate the number of musicians in the marching band by subtracting this number from the total number of musicians:
Number of musicians in the marching band = Total number of musicians - Number of musicians who play only in the jazz band
= 375 - 120
= 255
Therefore, there are 255 musicians in the marching band.
