To find the number of computer buyers who listed other considerations, we first find the total number of buyers who listed either price or performance or both. This is done by adding those who listed price (185) and those who listed performance (236) and then subtracting those who listed both (57) to avoid double counting: 185 + 236 - 57 = 364. Subtracting this from the total number of buyers (415) gives us the number of buyers who listed other considerations: 415 - 364 = 51. To find those who looked only for performance, we subtract those who listed both from those who listed performance: 236 - 57 = 179.
