The Parpirelli factory produces several kinds of instant pasta sauces. Last year, Parpirelli produced 340 tons of pasta sauce, out of which 200 tons contained basil. One hundred ten tons of the pasta sauce produced last year contained garlic but did not contain basil, and 50 tons contained basil but did not contain garlic. How many tons of garlic-free pasta sauce did Parpirelli produce last year?

A) 30
B) 50
C) 70
D) 80
E) 140


Total Pasta sauce = 340 Tons

Garlic, but no basil = Only Garlic = 110 Tons

Basil, but no garlic = Only Basil = 50 Tons

Total Basil = 200 tons. Therefore Basil and Garlic = 200 - 50 = 150 Tons

Neither Garlic nor Basil = Total - Only Garlic - Only Basil - Garlic and Basil = 340 - 110 - 50 - 150 = 340 - 310 = 30


Amount of Non Garlic Sauce = Only Basil + Neither garlic nor Basil = 50 + 30 = 80 Tons



Option D
