Out of 100 collectors, 70 collect coins, 75 collect badges, 80 collect match box labels and 85 collect stamps.

How many collectors are involved in all 4 types of hobbies ?.

Answer:

Let collectors of all 4 types be x

then: 100 = (70- x) + (75 - x) + (80 - x) + (85 - x) + x

100 = 310 - 4x +x

3x = 210

[x = 70
70 collectors are involved in all 4 types of hobbies.
