Let's split the students up into three non-intersecting setsF={students taking only french}S={students taking only spanish}FS={students taking both french and spanish}

|FS|=|F|+|S||FS|=18+2125=14|F|1814=4|S|=2114=7

 

4 outcomes lead to Michael being able to write about both classes(F,S), (FS,S), (FS,F) ,(FS,FS)These outcomes are non-overlapping so the probabilityof their union is the sum of their individual probabilities

 

P[(F,S)]=(41)(71)(252)=775P[(FS,S)]=(141)(71)(252)49150P[(FS,F)]=(141)(41)(252)=1475P[(FS,FS)]=(142)(252)=91300

P[M. can write about both schools]=28+98+56+91300=91100
