II. Motivation: (10 minutes)

1. Answer the following questions
Grade 7 students in certain schools are interviewed. 72 students chose Instagram as their new social
network and 50 chose Facebook, while 32 chose both Instagram and Facebook, while 5 did not use
any social media platforms. Each person chose at least one of these social networks.

a. How many students are interviewed?

b. How many students like Facebook only?
c. How many students like Instagram only?
d. How many students like Facebook and Instagram?

Lesson: SOLVING WORD PROBLEMS INVOLVING VENN DIAGRAMS

Steps ins solving using Venn diagram.

1. List all the given. Using Cardinality
2. Draw the Venn Diagram and labeled each circle with the first letter of each set. The
number of circles must be equal to the number of sets in the problem.
3. Start with the Intersection of the sets. This statement used words “AND”. Write the
number inside the intersection of the 2 or more circle.
4. For the number of each circles subtract the number of the elements in the
intersection to obtain the number for the part of the circle.
5. Add all the numbers inside the sets then subtract it to the total number of elements
inside the universal set to obtain the elements outside the sets.
6. Answers the questions in the problems.

Venn Diagram Word Problems can be very easy to make mistakes on when you are a beginner.

It is extremely important to:

• Read the question carefully and note down all key information.
o OR means Union
o AND means INTERSECTION
o NOT means do not include the whole set even intersection
o ONLY means the set only without its intersection with other set
• Know the standard parts of a Venn Diagram
• Work in a step by step manner
• Check at the end that all the numbers add up correctly.

Example
1. 150 students are interviewed on subjects they are registered. 85 were registered to math , 70 where
registered to English, while 50 where registered for both math and English.

1. How many signed for math only?

2. How many signed for English only?

3. How many signed for Math or English?
4. How many signed for English and Math?
5. How many signed for neither Math or English?
Step 1. List all the given.
𝒏(𝐸 ∩ 𝑀) = 50 , 𝒏(𝐸) = 70 , 𝒏(𝑀) = 80

Step 2: Draw the Venn Diagram and Complete the numbers of elements inside it.

U Side-note:
M E
1. Draw the number of sets
and label them
E for English
M for Math

Side-note:

U 2. Work Backwards start from the

M E intersection “ while 50 where
registered for both math and
English”
50
𝒏(𝐸 ∩ 𝑀) = 50

AND is used to indicated

Intersection

U Side-note:
M E
3. To obtain the numbers in Math
𝒏(𝑬 − 𝑴) = 𝑛(𝐸) − 𝒏(𝐸 ∩ 𝑀)
50 20
𝒏(𝑬 − 𝑴) means English only.

English only = 70 − 50
English only = 20

U Side-note:
M E
4. To obtain the numbers in Math
𝒏(𝑴 − 𝑬) = 𝑛(𝑀) − 𝒏(𝐸 ∩ 𝑀)
35 50 20
𝒏(𝑴 − 𝑬) means Math only

English only = 85 − 50
English only = 35

2. A survey of 100 Grade 7 students revealed that 42 like Twitter , 62 like Tik-Tok, 44 like Google
Classroom, 22 like Twitter and Google Classroom, 25 like both Twitter and Tik-Tok, 17 like Twitter
and Google Classroom, 10 like all three .
a. How many like Twitter only?
b. How many like Tik-Tok?
c. How many like Google Classroom only?
d. How many did not like nay of the 3 subjects?
e. How many like Tik-tok or Twitter but not Google Classroom?
f. How many like Tik-tok and Twitter but not Google Classroom?
Solution:
1. Let T= Twitter, K = Tik – Tok, G = Google Classroom
2. List the Given:
Sets Cardinality
Total 𝑛(𝑈) = 100
Twitter 𝑛(𝑇) = 42
Tik Tok 𝑛(𝐾) = 62

1. Label first then start in the center, where the
3 sets intersect Tik tok, Google Classroom, and
Twitter
𝑛(𝑇 ∩ 𝐾) ∩ 𝐺 = 10
2. Find the value of the intersection: Tik Tok
and Google Classroom
𝑛(𝐾 ∩ 𝐺) = 17
We should not use 17 but instead 7 only.
Because we already have the value of 10.
10 + 7 = 17
