Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

The numbers of people who like Mexican food are M=54.

The numbers of people who like Italian food are I=45.

The numbers of people who like Chinese food are C=47.

The numbers of people who like Mexican food and Italian are d+g=29.

The numbers of people who like Mexican food and Chinese are f+g=26.

The numbers of people who like Italian food and Chinese are e+g=20.

The numbers of people who like all food are g=11.

The numbers of people who don't like any of this food are h=5.

Substitute 11 for g in the expression d+g=29.

d+11=29d=18

Substitute 11 for g in the expression f+g=26.

f+11=26f=15
