Katie is teaching a class of thirty pupils, of which fourteen are girls. She knows that there are twenty-two pupils who are right-handed.

What is the minimum number of girls who are right-handed in this class?

30 pupils - 14 girls = 16 boys

 

If all the 16 boys were righ-handed, then:

 

22 - 16 boys = 6 girls - which would the minimum number of girls who are right-handed.
