Math Problem Statement
Problem Solver #2: Venn Diagram Problem
A group of 100 middle school students were surveyed and found out that all of them visited at least one of the following cities: Austin (TX), Boston (MA), and Chicago (IL).
53 of the students visited Austin. 52 of the students visited Boston. 65 of the students visited Chicago. 19 of the students visited Austin and Boston. 28 of the students visited Boston and Chicago. 31 of the students visited Austin and Chicago. 38 of the students visited exactly one of the cities: Austin, Boston and Chicago.
Create a Venn Diagram that would display the overlap of the students who visited the different cities and then answer the following question.
How many students visited all 3 cities?
