Question

At a breakfast buffet, 54% of people choose coffee for their beverage while 16% choose juice. Also, 12% choose both coffee and juice. What percentage of people chose coffee only?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 42%.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we make a Venn diagram, we get 12% in the middle, meaning that 12% of people chose both coffee and juice.

54% is the total amount of people who chose coffee, including the % of people who chose coffee as well as juice.

So, we need to subtract 12% from 54%, therefore giving us 42%.
