Accepted Solution

A:
Jake found that 39 students in his school could play the guitar and 17 of those students could play the piano
Can play guitar and piano-=17      ---->top left
Can play guital total= 39              ------> top right
Which mean
Can play guitar but cant play piano= 39-17=22 ------> top middle

There were 8 students who could not play the guitar but knew how to play the piano.
Can play piano but can't play guitar= 8 ---->middle left
Can play piano total= 8 + 17= 25             ----->bottom left

There were 3 students who knew neither guitar nor piano
Did not know the guitar and piano=3          ----->middle middle

The answer would be: 
Knew piano Did not know piano Total
Knew guitar 17 22 39
Did not know guitar 8 3 11
Total 25 25 50
