Hello,
I can't calculate the percentage, here is the question: 40% like cider, 45% like orange juice, 15% will not drink any beverages according to a survey, 30% will not drink any beverages. We cannot deduce that 15% will not drink either of these two drinks because we do not know the reference set that may like both. WHAT percentage of people will drink cider and orange juice? 
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 8.0

    Yes, but if we start making exceptions, everyone will come to us to do their homework...

    Whether they're old, young, etc... we can't verify their good faith...

    Hello.
    Anyway, it's impossible to help you: The text of the assignment is wrong!
    "15% will not take any drinks according to a survey 30% will not take any drinks"

    So, is it 15 or is it 30?
