Narcissa: 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

15 doesn't equal 9 or 6
9 + 6 = 15 !!!!!!!


The wording was "the number of people who took German is three more than the number of people who took Italian."

That's where the "more" came in.

no I originally thought it was 9.. but I meant 15 doesn't equal the amount of people that only knew one language but then I realized 9+6 = 15.. and now I believe it is 6...

Question:

Total number of German is 3 more than Total number of Latin. If number of both is equal to any one number of a language, then what is the number of students who took only Latin?

The answer is 9. Check it out.

Both(Middle overlap if Venn Dia.): 9
German ONLY: 12
Latin ONLY: 9
Total: 30

Total German: 12+9=21
Total Latin: 9+9=18

21 is 3 more than 18.

How about that?

9 doesn't equal 21 (9 +12)

Crap, 9 doesn't equal 12. This is confusing. I'm thinking I got it wrong now..

Was it any one number of a language or who only took one language? If we knew that then we would probably know the correct answer..
