Question

Joe asked the children in his class which flavours of ice-cream they like.
He recorded the results in a Venn diagram.

How many children like chocolate ice-cream?

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 19

b. 14

Step-by-step explanation:

From the venn diagram, we see that:

9 children like only Vanilla

7 like vanilla and chocolate

12 like only chocolate, and

2 like neither chocolate nor vanilla

Thus:

a. Number of children that liked Chocolate ice-cream = those that like chocolate only + those that like both chocolate and vanilla = 12 + 7 = 19

19 children like chocolate ice-cream.

b. Number of children who do not like Vanilla ice-cream = those that like chocolate only + those that do not like neither chocolate nor vanilla = 12 + 2 = 14

14 children do not like vanilla ice-cream.
