You need a Venn diagram which is 3 interlocking
circles: swimmers, joggers, and bikers
Realize there are 7 regions, and each has a different
meaning. The center one is all 3: swimmers, joggers, and bikers.
------------------------------------------------
10 do all 3 activities
27 jog and swim. That leaves
that jog and swim, but don't do anything else
---------------------------------------------
(a)
32 jog but don't bike, so if you subtract the joggers and
swimmers, there are who ONLY jog
but don't swim and bike
-------------------------------
(b)
21 bike and swim. Subtract those who do all 3.
so, 11 do ONLY swimming and biking.
Now I can subtract from total swimmers
who ONLY swim
--------------------------------
Likewise, subtract from all the joggers
who ONLY jog or bike
There is only 1 of the 7 regions left. It is those who bike ONLY.
Subtract from total of bikers
who ONLY bike
----------------------------------
Now add up all of the 7 regions and subtract from

There are 71 who don't swim, bike or jog
--------------------------------------------
Note there is no way to do this problem if you don't draw
a Venn diagram and understand what each of the 7 regions
means. Always start with the center one which is those who
do all 3 activities. Hope this helps.
