blank
To find out how many friends prefer volleyball and soccer over the other two sports, we need to subtract the number of friends who prefer basketball and baseball from the total number of friends. Since Joshua surveyed 15 friends who like volleyball and 25 friends who prefer soccer, the total number of friends who like volleyball and soccer is 15 + 25 = <<15+25=40>>40.
The total number of friends who prefer basketball and baseball is 40 - (15 + 25) = <<40-(15+25)=0>>0. Answer: \boxed{0}.
wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Allow me to correct it.
To find out how many friends prefer volleyball and soccer over the other two sports, we need to add the number of friends who prefer volleyball and the number of friends who prefer soccer.
We are given that 15 friends like volleyball and 25 friends prefer soccer. So, the total number of friends who prefer volleyball and soccer is 15 + 25 = 40.
Therefore, 40 of Joshua's friends prefer volleyball and soccer over the other two sports.
