How Many Students in the School Are Not Members of Either the Gymnastic Team or the Chess Team?
What is the total number of students in the school?
The school has 800 students.
How many students are on the gymnastic team?
There are 20 students on the gymnastic team.
How many students are on the chess team?
There are 10 students on the chess team, including 3 students who are on both teams.
Answer:
The total number of students in the school who are not members of either the gymnastic team or the chess team can be calculated as follows:
Total students = 800
Total students on gymnastic team = 20
Total students on chess team = 10
Students on both teams = 3
Number of students not participating in either gym or chess = Total students - (Gymnastic team + Chess team - Students on both teams)
Number of students not participating in either gym or chess = 800 - (20 + 10 - 3) = 777
So, there are 777 students in the school who are not members of either the gymnastic team or the chess team.
Explanation:
In this scenario, we are given the total number of students in the school, the number of students on the gymnastic team, the number of students on the chess team, and the number of students who are on both teams.
To find out the number of students in the school who are not members of either the gymnastic team or the chess team, we need to subtract the students who are on both teams from the sum of students on the gymnastic and chess teams, and then subtract that result from the total number of students in the school.
By performing the calculations as shown above, we arrive at the answer of 777 students who are not members of either the gymnastic team or the chess team.
