Question 1
A two-way table shows 20 boys and 30 girls. If 15 boys and 20 girls like football, how many students in total do not like football?
Show answer
Answer: 15
There are 50 students in total (20 boys + 30 girls). A total of 35 students like football (15 boys + 20 girls), so 50 minus 35 equals 15 students who do not like football.

In a survey of 100 people, 40 males and 60 females were asked about their commute. If 25 males and 35 females walk to work, what is the total number of people who do not walk to work?
- A) Forty people in total
- B) Sixty people in total
- C) Thirty people in total
- D) Fifty people in total
Show answer
Answer: Forty people in total
The total number of people who walk is 25 plus 35, which equals 60. Subtracting this from the survey total of 100 leaves 40 people who do not walk, making 'Forty people in total' the correct answer.
