Answer to Question 3

3.  A veterinarian surveys 26 of his patrons.  He discovers that 14 have dogs, 10 have cats, and 5 have fish.  Four have dogs and cats, 3 have dogs and fish, and one has a cat and fish.  If no one has all three kinds of pets, how many patrons have none of these pets? 

7 + 4 + 0 + 3 + 1 + 5 + 1 + x = 26

21 + x = 26

x = 5 patrons have none of these animals

 

Must be 5 iguana lovers!
