Answer:  20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total students at the dinner = 100

Number of fish entrees = 40

Number of pasta entrees = 60

Number of students chose neither entree = 20

Now , Number of students chose either fish or pasta = (Total students) - (Number of students chose neither entree)

= 100-20

= 80

Now , Number of students chose either fish or pasta = (Number of fish entrees) + (Number of pasta entrees)- (Number of students chose both)

⇒ Number of students chose both = (Number of fish entrees) +(Number of pasta entrees)-(Number of students chose either fish or pasta)

= 40+60-80

= 20

Hence, the number of students were served two entrees = 20

20 students were served two entrees.

Given,

total student pass through cafeteria line and were served meal is 100.

No. of students choose fish entries is 40.

No. of students choose pasta entrees is 60.

No. of student choose neither entree is 20.

We have to calculate the no. of students served two entrees.

Now Number of students chose either fish or pasta will be,

[tex]N=100-20[/tex]

[tex]N=80[/tex]

Now no. of students choose both will be,

[tex]N=(fish\ entree+\ pasta \ entree )-Entree\ either \ pasta \ or \ fish[/tex]

[tex]N=60+40-80[/tex]

[tex]N=20[/tex]

Hence 20 students were served two entrees.
