you should write the solution instead of just saying the right answer because i think she knows it. the thing she wants to know is how to get 51, the right answergoyalsau wrote:I think its 51.alivapriyada wrote:All of the students of Music High School are in the band, the orchestra, or both. 80 percent of the students are in only one group.

you know that 80% just in one group thus there is 20% in both group ( orchestra and band)alivapriyada wrote:All of the students of Music High School are in the band, the orchestra, or both. 80 percent of the students are in only one group.

50% in only band thus 30% in only orchestra. now we have to find the number of students in only orchestra
119 student in band which includes 50% students in only band and 20% in both
thus we will get 70%
supposed x is the student in the school/group
thus 70%x=119 so x=170
30%*170=51
the correct answer is B
