Fellow SDN'ers, I need clarity on this question.
Half the population of Green Village is vegetarians, and 35% ride bicycles. If 20% are both vegetarian and ride bicycles, what is the probability that a person chosen at random from Green Village is either a vegetarian or rides a bicycle.
A. 95%
B. 65%
C. 12%
D. 83%
E. 24%
Solution in the back says its B, but if I think of it, why is it simply not: 50/100 + 35/100 = 85/100 or 85% either a vegetarian or rides a bicycle? Why does the 20% even matter? Sorry if this is a stupid question, just been bothering me and lingering in the back of my mind, need an answer -_-.
