In a school, 40% of the students draw and paint. 40% of those who draw do not paint. If the students do either one of the two, then what % of students paint?
Assume the total number of students = 100,
Then the number of students who both draw and paint = 40.
Also, let the number of students who draw = x;
Then the number of students who only draw = 0.4x.
Thus, 0.4x + 40 = x ⇒x =66.66
Therefore, number of students who paint = 40 + (100 - 66.66) = 73.33.
