Draw three circles that partially overlap each other; label the circles A, B, and C. In the center, where all three overlap together, put a 3. That accounts for the "3 use all three". Then it says that 4 use A and B, but you already have accounted for 3 of those 4 because of the "3 use all three" statement; if someone uses all three, then they must use A and B, right? So 4 minus 3 is 1, put a 1 in the little segment where only A and B overlap. Similarly, 11 use A and C. Subtract 3 to get 8, and put 8 in the segment where only A and C overlap. Now add up 8 plus 3 plus 1 equals 12 which is the number of people who use A and Something Else (maybe just B, maybe just C, and maybe both B and C). Subtract 12 from the 38 that use A to get 26, the number that use ONLY A.
