For this question, one can go for a Vienn Diagram to better visualize the problem.
So, the total number of students = 290
Students playing in a Band = Students just in the band + Students in both band and Orchestra.
The same applies to the Students in Orchestra. Hence Total number of students - Students in a Band = Students in just Orchestra.
=> Students just in orchestra = 80
Now Total students in Orchestra = 80 + x, where x is the number of students in both.
f(x) = 80+x represents the students in the Orchestra. The values in the table:
The values 230 and 150 satisfy the above equation. Hence, the total number in bands = 210, total number in Orchestra = 230 and the intersection of them both is 150. Please correct me if I am wrong
