In a class of 35 students, 15 are taking German and 15 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 7 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
11
12
10
23

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 15 + 15 = 30. Of that group of 30, 7 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 30 - 7 = 23 who are taking at least one language. 35 - 23 = 12 students who are not taking either language.
