You can solve this by using three intersecting circles...kinda hard to show here...but the advice is to start from the inside and work your way out...start from 2 in the central region where all three circles intersect and go from there...it isn't clear whether those that have dogs and cats can also have fish, but assuming that is so, I get 15 people have none of those...
