In a freshman high school class of 80 students, 22 students take Consumer Education, 20 students take French, and 4 students take both. Which equation can be used to find the probability, P, that a randomly selected student from this class takes Consumer Education, French, or both?

First subtract the number of students who take both subjects from the number of students who take Consumer Education

22-4=18

Then,

subtract the number of students who take both subjects from the number of students who take French

20-4=16

Now,

Add 18,16 and 4 and subtract the sum from the total number of students in the class

=80 - (18+16+4)

=80-38

=42

Answer: P = 11/40 + 1/4 + 1/20
