In the picture below, the rectangle represents pants, the triangle represents shirts, and the circle represents shoes. The number in each region represents the number of items in that region. How many shoes or pants are there?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Rectangle = Pants, Triangle = Shirt, Circle = Shoes
Shoes ∩ Pants = The shared region of the circle and the rectangle
Shared Region = 8 (Circle ∩ Rectangle only) + 9 (The shared part of all three)
= 8 + 9
= 17
