In a class of 120 students. 60 percent can speak French and the rest can speak English only. If 25 percent of those in the class who can speak French can also speak English, how many of the students in the class can speak English? Correct Answer 66

We notice that 120 x 0.6 = 72 students speak French and 120 - 72 = 48 students speak only English. Among the 72 students who speak French, 72 x 0.25 = 18 students speak English as well. Therefore, 48 + 18 = 66 students can speak English. ans: 66
