The administration of a certain school surveys all 120 students to plan a field trip. Each student can express a preference for only one destination: the science museum, the art museum, or neither. The results of the student survey are shown above. Assuming that the maximum number of students who are allowed to visit their preferred museum visit that museum for the field trip, how many students who have a preference do not visit their preferred museum?
(1) Due to transportation constraints, the maximum number of students who can take a field trip to the science museum is 55.
(2) Due to high demand, the art museum can accommodate a maximum of 50 students.
Using the percentages that are provided, we can determine that 72 students wanted to visit the science museum, 36 wanted to visit the art museum, and 12 had no preference.
Statement 1: "Due to transportation constraints, the maximum number of students who can take a field trip to the science museum is 55."
Based on the information that was provided in the question, we know that 72 students preferred the science museum, so the number who didn't get their preference was 72 - 55 = 17. However, we have no information about the art museum students. INSUFFICIENT.
Statement 2: "Due to high demand, the art museum can accommodate a maximum of 50 students."
Based on the information that was provided in the question, we know that 36 students preferred the art museum, so all of them were able to go. However, we don't know anything about the science students. INSUFFICIENT.
1&2:
We know the number of art and science students who got to to their preferred destination based on statements 1 and 2. SUFFICIENT.
The correct answer is (C).
