Q: If 40 students like Mathematics, 30 like Science, and 10 like both subjects, how many students like only Mathematics?
Solution: The number of students who like only Mathematics is 40 - 10 = 30.
Steps: 5
Step 1: Identify the total number of students who like Mathematics, which is 40.
Step 2: Identify the number of students who like both Mathematics and Science, which is 10.
Step 3: To find the number of students who like only Mathematics, subtract the number of students who like both subjects from the total number of students who like Mathematics.
Step 4: Perform the calculation: 40 (students who like Mathematics) - 10 (students who like both) = 30.
Step 5: The result is that 30 students like only Mathematics.
