venn diagram would be nice, otherwise just write it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

400 had both so total that have one or the other is \[1200+600-400=1400\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

200 only edu, 800 only work 400 both=1400

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1400/2000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

probability is \[\frac{1400}{2000}=.7\]
