2. Data: Of the 40 students in a class, 14 study French only, 8 study both Spanish and
French, 21 study Spanish and 5 students study neither of the two subjects.
(a) Required to complete: The Venn diagram given to show the information.
Solution:
We assume F = {Students who study French} and
S = {Students who study Spanish} .

Solution:
The number of students who study Spanish = 21

Solution:
Joanne
2 pieces of chicken at $x each and 3 portions of fries at $y each cost $69.

1 piece of chicken at $x each and 4 portions of fries at $y each cost $72.
\( x ´1) + ( y ´ 4) = 72

Solution:
2 x + 3 y = 69 …
Equation ´ - 2 :
