A car dealership interviewed every driver who came onto their lot on Tuesday. This produced the following results: there were 68 people who owned trucks and 119 people who owned cars. If 17 people owned both a truck and a car and 6 people owned neither, how many people were interviewed?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

68 people owned trucks and 17 owned both

So 68 - 17 = 51 people owned only trucks

------------

119 people owned cars and 17 owned both

So 119 - 17 = 102 owned only cars


So in total, 51+102+17+6 = 176 people were interviewed.
