Let's say 100 students were polled. Then the total amounts are:
45+40+45=130
Then we subtract the amount who liked two sports:
15+2+25=42
130-42=88
Subtracting again for the students who liked all three, we have:
88-10=78
So we have 78% students who liked at least one sport, leaving us with 22% who didn't like any sport!!!!!!!!

It's IMPOSSIBLE for only 2% to like 2 sports when it's also given that 10% like all 3. Repost with correct info.
