Answer 9

haha, i'm not gonna do that ;)

[cont ] "there will be an overlapped between the given skiers and the people who do both.."
that's why I subtracted 196 to 154, therefore you'll have 42 skiers who don't do snowboarding..

since the total people is 200, that would be equal to # of people who do both (154), # of people who only do skiing (b=42) and #number of people who only do snowboarding (c)..
you are looking for the #number of people who only do snowboarding (c).
200=154+42+ c

solve for c and that would be your answer :)

Answer 10

200=154+42+ c
so just solve this
