Hello, luvugodm!

There are 70 high school students: (girls, boys), (seniors, juniors).
30 students are girls; 24 students are seniors; 6 seniors girls.

In area #1 the number of students who are senior girls would be 6, right? .Right!
In area #2 the number of girls who ar not seniors would be 24, right? .Yes!

In area #3, write the number of senior boys.
In area #4, write the number of junior boys. .Just keep going . . .

There are 24 seniors.
If 6 of them are girls, the other 18 are boys. (area #3)

We have accounte for: \(\displaystyle \.6\,+\,24\,+\,18\:=\:48\) students.

The remaining \(\displaystyle 70\,-\,48\:=\:22\) are the junior boys. (area #4)
