| @sastux, it's not 6 because 15+9 is not 3 more than 9+6 | |

| okay it says that same number of people who took both as who only took one
so 15 people took both
so u have 15 people left
and three more took german as did italian
so 15-3=12/2=6
6 people took only italian
9 people took only german
and 15 people took both of them
=30 people | |

| it IS 6 because 15 + 6 = # of people who took italian, 21
is three less than 15 + 9 = # of people who took german, 24 | |

| the question asked for how many kids took ONLY italian. it said the number of students who took both subjects is equal to the number of students who took one subject. so that means 15 ppl took only one subject, either Italian or German...so since there were 3 more ppl who took german than italian, the number of people who took only german is 9, and the number of ppl who took only italian is 6. 9 + 6 =15 | |

| It's 9!
1) I'm Chinese (Male, in case you wanted to know)
2) I compete in UIL Math and Number Sense
3) If I don't make a 800 in Math, my parents will shank me!
There, that's enough proof! | |

| Stephan and Narcissa are right and I'm 100% sure of it. I read that question about 20 billion times because I knew the wording is what would screw people up. | |
