Answer:

  30

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the number of students of 100 that are taking both music and gym, given 60 are taking gym and 70 are taking music.

Overlap

The relation between the numbers taking music (M) and gym (G) is ...

  n(M or G) = n(M) +n(G) -n(M and G)

Then ...

  n(M and G) = n(M) +n(G) -n(M or G)

  n(M and G) = 70 +60 -100 = 30

30 students are taking both music and gym.
