There are 30 students in a class. 15 study woodwork and 13 study metalwork. 6 study neither of the two subjects. How many students study woodwork but not metalwork?

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. 30−6=2430 - 6 = 24 students study at least one of the two subjects.
  2. Add the two subject totals and take away 24 to find how many study both: 15+13−24=415 + 13 - 24 = 4.
  3. Woodwork but not metalwork: 15−4=1115 - 4 = 11, option C.
