31 of the scientists that attended a certain workshop were Wolf Prize laureates, and 12 of these 31 were also Nobel Prize laureates. Of the scientists that attended that workshop and had not received the Wolf prize, the number of scientists that had received the Nobel Prize was 3 greater than the number of scientists that had not received the Nobel Prize. If 50 of the scientists attended that workshop, how many of them were Nobel Prize laureates?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers.
A) A)11 B) B)23 C) C)24 D) D)29 E) D)36
lets solve by creating equation..   W = 31..   Total = 50..   Not W = 50 -31= 19..   Now let people who were neither be x, so out of 19 who won Nobel = x+3..   so x+x+3=19 or x=8..   so who won Nobel but not Wolf = x+3 = 11..   But people who won BOTH W and N = 12..   so total who won N = 11+12 = 23..   23
