Or the answer is 55, like it says, and you're overthinking it.
18+28+8 = 54 + 1 person who was purely private scholarship = 55.
Never rule out semantic traps. It didn't ask how many received financial aid as worded, it asked how many of them were on scholarships.
Quote:Find out how many students use at least one type of scholarship.
55 people used Private Scholarships
18 people used both Government Grants and Private Scholarships
28 people used both Government Grants and Academic Credits
8 people used all three
18+28+8 = 54 + 1 person who was purely private scholarship = 55.
