Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Eighty percent ( 80%) of adults drink coffee and seventy ( 70%) percent drink tea.

Let the percent of the adults that drink coffee and tea be y

The total percentage of adults = 100

80 - y + y + 70 - y = 100

150 - y = 100

- y = 100 - 150

Y = 50.

Therefore, the smallest possible percent of adults who drink both coffee and tea is 50 %
