A certain economics class consists of 50 women and 30 men. H

Isn't this a 2 x 2 matrix problem where you have men, women, business and economics?

Hi fozzzy,

Since your post is over a year old, I'm not sure if you're still around to read this response, but you COULD have set this question up as an Overlapping Sets question (and used the Tic-Tac-Toe Board) - you just don't need to solve it that way. However, if you chose to use that approach, then the groups in that grid would be:

"Men" and "Women"
"Business Majors" and "NOT Business Majors"

With the starting information, your grid could look like this:

Bus NotBus Tot
M ? 30
W 50
Tot 80

You could then use this grid with the information in the two Facts to answer the question.
