You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the answer is 30
so in order to get this
drove alone DISABLED_event_only= 29-3-5-8 = 13
drive car and and public DISABLED_event_only= 8-3 = 5
drive car and carpool = 5-3 = 2
drive public only [ 30 -3 - 6-8= 13
drive public and carpool DISABLED_event_only= 6-3 =3
carpool only : 35-6-5-3 = 21
carpool + drive car + public = 3


so total = 13 + 5 + 2 + 13 +3 + 21 +3 = 70
so 100 -70 =30
