In a certain school, $\frac{3}{4}$ of the students who like to practice soccer also like to practice volleyball. $\frac{3}{4}$ of the students who like to practice volleyball also like to practice soccer. Additionally, $\frac{3}{4}$ of the students don't like soccer or volleyball. What is, in this school, the percent of students who like practicing both sports?

You have learned some basic rules about probability. You are given

  1. $ P(V|S) = 3/4$.
  2. $ P(S|V) = 3/4$.
  3. $1-P(S \cup V) = 3/4$.

You can express $ P(S) $ using $ P(S \cap V) $ from (1) and $ P(V) $ from (2) using one of the rules you learned. Now using (3) and one of the basic rules you can find $ P(S \cap V) $.
