There are 12 kids in a classroom. 6 kids are wearing socks and 4 are wearing shoes. 3 kids are wearing both.
How many are in bare feet?

Five kids are in bare foot.
Because 3 kids are wearing both, 1 kid is wearing only shoe and 3 kids are wearing only socks, so that makes 3 + 3 +1=7 kids, wearing either shoe or socks.
Hence 12-7= 5 kids barefooted
