Sagot :

Answer:

option C:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

total people = 75

College graduates = 2/5 of the total

= 2/5 * 75 = 30 people

left = 75 - 30 = 45 people

seniors in high school = 4/9 of the people who are not college graduates

= 4/9 * 45 = 20 people

thus,

people in the room who are neither college graduates nor high school seniors = 45 - 20 = 25
