Make a Venn diagram with three overlapping circles. That makes a total of 8 regions, that we will label B, BD, BDP, BP, D, DP, P, and X (for none). Then we have: Givens: 1. P + BP + DP + BDP = 41 2. D + BD + DP + BDP = 38 3. B + BD + BP + BDP = 51 4. BP = 18 5. D + BD = 29 6. P + BP + B = 43 7. BD + BP + DP + BDP = 46 8. X = 13 Conclusions: 9. DP + BDP = 9 (from 2 & 5) 10. P = 41 - 18 - 9 = 14 (from 1 & 4 & 9) 11. BD = 46 - 18 - 9 = 19 (from 7 & 4 & 9) That's what is asked, since BD = Belgium and Denmark but not Peru = 19 P.S. If you finish figuring out all the numbers, it turns out that B = 11 P = 14 D = 10 BD = 19 BP = 18 DP = 6 BDP = 3 Those numbers add up to 81. But 81 + 13 = 94. So either the total number of students is 94, or the number of students who haven't been to any of them is 11, not 13. So you either copied the problem incorrectly, or there is a mistake in the problem.
