Answer 1

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

Horizontally:

Like reading = 32

Do not like reading = ?

Total = 58

Total = Like reading + Do not like reading

Do not like reading = Total - Like reading

= 58 - 32

= 26

Do not like reading = 26

Vertically:

Like gardening =

Do not like gardening = 23

Total = 49

Total = Like gardening + Do not like gardening

Like gardening = Total - Do not like gardening

= 49 - 23

= 26

Like gardening = 26

Therefore,

The missing number in the table is 26
