Miranda Levine · Answer 1

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!
