File comment: Now
F= total number of students studying french =F
S= total number of students studying Spanish =S
F' = Students studying only french
S'=Students studying only spanish
F & S = students studying both french and spanish
Now we need to find out F & S
We have F + S =300 (whether french or spanish or both)
S' =100 (Students who study spanish but not french)
1.Of the 300 students, 60 do not study Spanish
this 60 = F'( students who study only french but not spanish)
so now looking at diagram F'+S'+ F&S = F+S =300
substituting 100+60+ F&S =300
F&S =140
2. A total of 240 of the students study Spanish
i.e. S'+ F&S =240 (total who study spanish)
we know S' =100
so F&S =140.
Give me KUDOS if this helps
