In a survey of 50 newspaper readers, 40 read Champion and 30 read Guardian, how many read both papers?

Answer Details

To find out how many people read both Champion and Guardian, we need to use a concept called "intersection" from mathematics. Out of 50 readers, 40 read Champion and 30 read Guardian. We need to find out how many people are reading both Champion and Guardian. To do this, we can draw two circles to represent the readers who read Champion and those who read Guardian. Then, we can see how much they overlap, which is the number of people who read both. So, if we draw two circles, one for Champion and one for Guardian, we can see that the overlapping region represents the people who read both newspapers. Since we don't have a visual representation, we can use a formula to find the answer. We can use the formula: Number of people who read both = Number of people who read Champion + Number of people who read Guardian - Total number of people Substituting the given values, we get: Number of people who read both = 40 + 30 - 50 Number of people who read both = 20 Therefore, the answer is 20.
