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) Responses 120 120 130 130 125 125 255
To find the number of musicians in the marching band, we can subtract the number of musicians in the jazz band from the total number of musicians.
Total number of musicians = 375
Number of musicians in the jazz band = 250
Number of musicians in both bands (intersection) = 130
Number of musicians in the marching band = Total number of musicians - Number of musicians in the jazz band
Number of musicians in the marching band = 375 - 250
Number of musicians in the marching band = 125 musicians
Therefore, there are 125 musicians in the marching band.
