We will have to distribute the sauces in two parts
1) With basil
Total -200
Given that 50 tons contained basil but not garlic.
2) Without basil
Total 340-200=140
Given that 110 tons of these contained garlic, remaining 30 did not.
Total - 50+30=80 tons
D
You can also make a 2*2 matrix for this
........G........NG......Total
B.....a..........50.....200
NB...110.......d......140
Total....................340
We are looking for non garlic, so 50+d.
d=140-110=30
50+d=50+30=80
