Question #N126
A survey of 100 people found that 60 people like apples, 40 people like oranges, and 20 people like both apples and oranges. How many people like neither apples nor oranges?
A. 20
B. 40
C. 60
D. 80
Correct Answer is: A
We can use a Venn diagram to solve this problem. Let the number of people who like only apples be represented by 'a' and the number of people who like only oranges be represented by 'o'. The number of people who like only apples is 60 - 20 = 40, and the number of people who like only oranges is 40 - 20 = 20. Therefore, the number of people who like neither apples nor oranges is 100 - 40 - 20 - 20 = 20.
