can u explain you answer?

1) start with the both category in the center. 2) because 9 didn't have a badge and we already know 3 didn't, that leaves 6 only without a badge. do the same for shoes. 3) add up the total violators now and subtract from the total in the class to get the "good" kids. Put that number outside the venn diagram inside a box. The box represents the universe, in this case the classroom of students
