Football--115
Baseball-100
That is 215, but 45 are double counted, so that is subtracted to give 170. That is the number liking exactly one.
------------------
For this, it helps to draw three intersecting circles
one is rock, and outside put 196
one is country, and outside put 161
One is jazz and outside put 113
Rock alone is 196 minus 25 for rock and country minus 17 more for rock and jazz minus 6 for all three=148
Country is 161 minus 25 minus 22 minus 6, or 108
Jazz is 113 minus 17 minus 22 minus 6 or 68
Rock only is what is asked for and that is 148
------------------
302 sold
149 CD
116 Cassette
40 both that is subtracted from CD to give 109
