    Complete Question

    Fifteen percent of the students at Central High take Spanish, 12% take French, and 4% take both. If a student is selected at random, what is the

    probability that the student takes Spanish or French?

    A 31%

    B. 27%

    C. 23%

    D. 19%

    Answer:

    C. 23%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    At Central High

    From the question, we are told that:

    Spanish = 15%

    French = 12%

    Spanish and French = 4%

    French or Spanish = unknown

    Therefore, the probability that a student at random takes Spanish or French

    = P (Spanish) + P (French) - P (Spanish and French)

    = 15% + 12% - 4%

    = 27% - 4%

    = 23%
