The same number of campers goes orienteering in week 2 as in week 1, and 15 campers in week 2 do both activities. If 49 of the 120 campers who attend week 2 do neither activity, and twice as many campers attend week 1 as go fishing in week 2, then how many total campers attended these 2 weeks?

Total = Group1 + Group2 + Neither − Both, for each week.
Let fishing be Group1 and orienteering be Group2
for week 1, Total = 44 + 33 + 37 − Both;
for week 2, 120 = Group1 + 33 + 49 − 15.
Solve for Group1 ,we get 53 people went fishing in week 2.
Twice that many, or 106, attended week 1 overall, and over the 2 weeks the camp was attended by a total of 106 + 120 = 226 people.

We can let f = the number of campers who go fishing in week 2. Thus, we can create the equation:

f + 33 - 15 + 49 = 120

f + 67 = 120

f = 53

Since twice as many campers attend week 1 as those who go fishing in week 2, 2 x 53 = 106 campers attend week 1 and hence a total of 106 + 120 = 226 campers attend both weeks.
