Given the statement:

There are 250 students taking either band or chorus.

Determine how many students are only in chorus, if there are 180 students taking band and 60 students in both band and chorus.

Solution:

In order to determine how many students are only in chorus, we simply need to add 180 by 60, then subtract the sum to 250.

= 180 + 60

= 240

= 250 - 240

= 10

Final answer:

10 students are only in chorus.
