And what have you got so far? (TSR is not a homework service :smile:)

I mean can you post the other subjects and numbers of students which are presumably provided in the question?

Draw a bunch of overlapping circles (one for each subject) and fill in what you know

Ok, so can you work out how many students there are in total?
And how many students study chemistry (by itself or with another subject) how many students don't study chemistry at all?

The numerator is the number of students who don't study chemistry at all :smile:
