Solution:

Given, A survey of 2500 subscribers to a certain news paper revealed that 2250 people subscribe to the daily morning edition  

And 1250 subscribe to both the daily and the sunday editions.  

We have to find how many subscribe to the Sunday edition? how many subscribe to the Sunday edition only?

Let x denote the number who subscribe to the Sunday edition.  

Then the addition rule with overlap tells us that  

Those who subscribe daily edition + those who subscribe sunday edition - those who subscribe both daily and sunday edition = total subscribers in survey

2250 + x – 1250 = 2500

1000 + x = 2500  

x = 1500  

so, 1500 subscribe to the Sunday edition and 1500 – 1250 = 250 subscribe to the Sunday edition only.
