    A gamers club at Baily Middle School consisting of 25 members was surveyed to find out who played board games, card games, or video games. Use the results depicted in the Venn diagram below to answer the following exercises.

    A three-set Venn diagram overlapping one another is given. The total number of gamers club members equals 25. The first set is labeled Board, the second set is labeled Card, and the third set is labeled Video. Set Board shows 1; Set Card shows 0; Set Video plus shows 5. Overlapping of the first and second sets show 2, overlapping of second and third sets show 3, and overlapping of sets first and third sets show 4. Overlapping of all three sets shows 10. Outside the sets, 0 is marked.

    How many gamers club members play all three types of games: board games, card games, and video games?

    Exercise \(\PageIndex{2}\)

    How many gamers are in the set Board \(\cap\) Video?

    A blood drive at City Honors High School recently collected blood from 140 students, staff, and faculty. Use the results depicted in the Venn diagram below to answer the following exercises.

    A three-set Venn diagram of A, B, and Rh plus overlapping one another is given. The total number of donors equals 140. Set A shows 8; Set B shows 3; Set Rh plus shows 52. Overlapping of sets A and B shows 2, overlapping of sets B and Rh plus shows 11, and overlapping of A and Rh plus shows 50. Overlapping of A, B, and Rh plus shows 4.
