At a restaurant 42 people had breakfast on Saturday morning. 1/7 ate eggs only 2/3 ate both pancakes and eggs the remaining ate pancakes only. How many people ate pancakes

8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 42 people who had breakfast. Each person had either egg or pancake or both.

Of these only eggs were 2/3 and both were 2/3

Hence the remaining ate only pancakes

i. e. portion of persons who ate pancakes = 1 - (1/7+2/3)

= 4/21

Total no of people in the restaurant = 42

Of those people who ate eggs only = 1/7 (42) = 6

No of persons who ate both pancakes and eggs = 2/3 (42) = 28

Hence no of persons who ate only pancakes = 42 - (6+28) = 8
