The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the information provided and set up equations based on the activities of the people visiting the mall. ### Step 1: Determine the total number of people for each activity - Total people = 2000 - People who dined out = 60% of 2000 = 0.60 * 2000 = 1200 - People who went for shopping = 54% of 2000 = 0.54 * 2000 = 1080 ### Step 2: Define variables for different groups Let: - \( Y \) = Number of people who went for all three activities (Movies, Dine-out, Shopping) - \( X \) = Number of people who went for both Movies and Dine-out but not Shopping - \( A \) = Number of people who went for only Movies - \( B \) = Number of people who went for both Shopping and Dine-out but not Movies - \( C \) = Number of people who went for both Shopping and Movies but not Dine-out ### Step 3: Set up equations based on the given information 1. From the problem, we know that the number of people who went for only Movies was half of those who went for both Movies and Dine-out (but not Shopping): \[ A = \frac{1}{2}X \] 2. The number of people who went for all activities is equal to those who went for both Shopping and Dine-out (but not Movies): \[ Y = B \] 3. We know that 100 people went for both Shopping and Movies but not Dine-out: \[ C = 100 \] 4. The total number of people who went for Shopping can be expressed as: \[ 500 + Y + C + B = 1080 \] Substituting \( C \) and \( B \): \[ 500 + Y + 100 + Y = 1080 \] Simplifying gives: \[ 2Y + 600 = 1080 \implies 2Y = 480 \implies Y = 240 \] ### Step 4: Conclusion The number of people who went for all three activities (Movies, Dine-out, Shopping) is \( Y = 240 \).
