The correct Answer is:
To find the ratio of the number of students who like only coffee to the number of students who like only tea, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the total percentages We know the following from the problem: - Students who like coffee = 48% - Students who like tea = 54% - Students who smoke = 64% - Students who like both coffee and tea = 28% - Students who smoke and drink tea = 32% - Students who smoke and drink coffee = 30% - Students who like none = 6% First, we need to find the percentage of students who like all three (coffee, tea, and smoke). ### Step 2: Set up the equation Let \( x \) be the percentage of students who like all three (coffee, tea, and smoke). The total percentage of students liking at least one of the three options can be represented as: \[ (48 + 54 + 64 - 28 - 30 - 32 + x) + 6 = 100 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( x \) Substituting the values into the equation: \[ (48 + 54 + 64 - 28 - 30 - 32 + x) + 6 = 100 \] \[ (172 - 90 + x) + 6 = 100 \] \[ (82 + x) + 6 = 100 \] \[ x + 88 = 100 \] \[ x = 12 \] So, 12% of students like all three. ### Step 4: Calculate the exclusive percentages Now we can find the percentages of students who like only coffee, only tea, and only smoke: - **Only Coffee**: \[ \text{Only Coffee} = 48 - (10 + 12 + 14) = 48 - 36 = 12\% \] - **Only Tea**: \[ \text{Only Tea} = 54 - (10 + 12 + 14) = 54 - 36 = 18\% \] ### Step 5: Find the ratio Now we can find the ratio of students who like only coffee to those who like only tea: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Only Coffee}}{\text{Only Tea}} = \frac{12}{18} = \frac{2}{3} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the ratio of the number of students who like only coffee to the number who like only tea is **2:3**. ---
