If $A$ and $B$ are two events such that $P\,(A \cup B)\, + P\,(A \cap B) = \frac{7}{8}$ and $P\,(A) = 2\,P\,(B),$ then $P\,(A) = $

The probabilities of occurrence of two events are respectively $0.21$ and $0.49$. The probability that both occurs simultaneously is $0.16$. Then the probability that none of the two occurs is
