A survey was conducted among 200 students of age groups 7-12 years and 13-18 years to find their favorite movie genre. The students had to select any one genre out of comedy, action, and adventure. Out of the 100 students in the age group 7-12 years who participated in the survey, 55 liked action or adventure movies. The total number of students of both age groups who liked comedy was 98.

Using a two-way table,(I personally don't care if you use a table or not) compute the total number of students in the age group 13-18 years who liked action or adventure movies.

43

47

53

57

Alright, so this table says that the total number of people who liked action/adventure movies is 102, which is where I get confused, since the question says 98...?

Seems I read it wrong, its comedy that is 98. WOW. If I'd had read it correctly, this post did not even need to exist. Thanks for the help!
