16 students take both maths and english, 4 students took neither and 15.38% of the students are taking math but not English

What is probability?

Probability is the likelihood of occurrence of an event. It is given by:

Probability = number of occurrence / total possible outcomes.

Let x represent the number of students that took both maths and english, hence:

Number of students taking only maths = 20 - x

Number of students taking only english = 22 - x

26 = 20 - x + (22 - x) + x

42 - x = 26

x = 16

b) Those who took neither = 30 - 26 = 4

c) those taking only math = 20 - 16 = 4.

Percentage = (4/26) * 100 = 15.38%

16 students take both maths and english, 4 students took neither and 15.38% of the students are taking math but not English
