coffee not coffee total
tea 10 10 20
not tea 70 10 80
total 80 20 100

hence only coffee = 70%
only tea = 10%
Tea = 20%

Use a table instead of a Venn diagram for these type of questions. With practice you will determine which one is better to use in each case.
"There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results."

a coffee only, b only tea, c tea

What is the answer it got coffee
let total=100
80=C ; 10% of 80 = 8 both t*c
10 neither t nor c...
a) only coffee = 80-8 = 72 (=coffee - both tea& coffee)
b) only tea = 100-80-10 = 10
c) tea = 10+8 = 18 (=only tea + t&c)
