A300
B330
C200
D120

Re: Conditional Statements and Venn Diagrams
Draw a Venn diagram with 3 overlapping circles, labelling the four bits that overlap as A, B, C, D.
The information given in the question then allows you to form some equations for A, B, C and D. Can you see how?

Re: Conditional Statements and Venn Diagrams
Let x be the number of people enrolled in all three classes. Then:
[list=a]
[*]170−x are enrolled in art and drama but not piano,[/*]
[*]150−x are enrolled in drama and piano but not art,[/*]
[*]300−x are enrolled in piano and art but not drama.[/*]
[/list]
Now that you have split the numbers into non-overlapping groups, you can add them up:
[list=*]
[*]
[/list]
Me, or the ugly man, whatever (3,3,6)
