My Answer - 100
Is my answer is correct????

Thank You Nyla!!!! :)
Yes, your answer is correct.
To find the number of swimmers who finished the race, you need to subtract the number of swimmers who stopped the race due to cramps, dropped out because of sunburn, and did not finish due to fatigue from the initial number of swimmers who started the race.
First, subtract the number of swimmers who stopped the race due to cramps:
148 - 19 = 129
Then, subtract the number of swimmers who dropped out because of sunburn:
129 - 12 = 117
Finally, subtract the number of swimmers who did not finish due to fatigue:
117 - 17 = 100
Therefore, the correct answer is 100 swimmers finished the race.
