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 only apples?
A. 20
B. 40
C. 60
D. 80
Correct Answer is: A
We can use a Venn diagram to visualize the problem: [Venn Diagram] The 20 people who like both apples and oranges are in the overlap of the two circles. Since 60 people like apples, and 20 of those like oranges, 60 - 20 = 40 people like only apples.
