Forming the following venn diagram,
Image


60+50+35 - [(x+y) +(y+z) + (x+z)] + 10 = 100

-> 145 + 10 - (2x+2y+2z) = 100

155-100 = 2(x+y+z)

-> 55/2 = x+y+z = 27.5

Getting a decimal point answer :( . Please help!

As far I see it the solution is correct. Do not be bothered about getting fractional answer since it is a percentage and not an absolute number

Take n (M ∪ C ∪ A) = 100 so that n (M ∩ C ∩ A) = 10.

Now, note:

n (M ∪ C ∪ A) = n (M) + n (C) + n (A) - n (M ∩ C) - n (C ∩ A) - n (M ∩ A) + n (M ∩ C ∩ A)

I know, it is more than GMAT, but, ok...

n (M ∩ C) + n (C ∩ A) + n (M ∩ A) = n (M) + n (C) + n (A) - n (M ∪ C ∪ A) + n (M ∩ C ∩ A) = 60 + 50 + 35 - 100 + 10 = 55.

Take n (M ∩ C ∩ A) = 10, out 3 times of it, to answer what is asked; 55 - 3*10 = [spoiler]25[/spoiler].

[spoiler]D[/spoiler]

27.5 is between 25 and 30. so it could be D or E

60-x-y-10 + 50-x-z-10 +35-y-z + x+y+z +10 = 100 [initial solution posted has a problem with this part]

[Yellow areas + Green areas + Red area - refer the picure]

125 - x -y -z = 100

x+y+z = 25

hence 25

Ultimately, I made you people use

n (M ∩ C) + n (C ∩ A) + n (M ∩ A) = n (M) + n (C) + n (A) - n (M ∪ C ∪ A) + n (M ∩ C ∩ A) - 3* n (M ∩ C ∩ A)

This is same as

x = customers who bought 2 products = product 1 + product 2 + product 3 - Total + (all three) - 3*(all three)

Or x = customers who bought 2 products = product 1 + product 2 + product 3 - Total - 2*(all three)
