Official Solution:
In a certain office, 25% of the computers are equipped with both built-in modems and infrared ports. What percentage of the computers are not equipped with either of these devices?
(1) Half of the computers equipped with built-in modems do not have infrared ports.
Refer to the double set matrix below:
From the matrix, it is clear we cannot determine the value in the yellow box. Not sufficient.
To elaborate more on this statement: since half of the computers equipped with built-in modems do not have infrared ports, the other half of computers that are equipped with built-in modems DO have infrared ports. Thus, two boxes in the "Modem" column are equal; since the stem says that the number of computers with modems and infrared ports is 25%, then the number of computers with modems but without infrared ports is also 25%.
(2) 35% of all computers are equipped with infrared ports but do not have built-in modems.
Refer to the double set matrix below:
From this matrix as well, we are unable to determine the value in the yellow box. Not sufficient.
(1)+(2) When we consider both statements together, we get the following matrix:
Thus, we can conclude that 15% of the computers are not equipped with either of these devices. Sufficient.

from 1) its only saying half of computers with built in modems do not have infrared ports. how its conveying computers with modem are 50%?
