Triple Subject
1. **Problem statement:** In a class, 45% offer History, 30% offer Physics, and 40% offer Biology.
11% offer History and Physics, 15% offer Biology and Physics, 10% offer History and Biology.
16% offer none of these subjects.
Find the percentage who study all three subjects.
2. **Formula and rules:** Use the principle of inclusion-exclusion for three sets $H$, $P$, and $B$:
$$|H \cup P \cup B| = |H| + |P| + |B| - |H \cap P| - |P \cap B| - |H \cap B| + |H \cap P \cap B|$$
3. **Known values:**
$|H|=45$, $|P|=30$, $|B|=40$, $|H \cap P|=11$, $|P \cap B|=15$, $|H \cap B|=10$, and $16\%$ offer none, so $|H \cup P \cup B|=100-16=84$.
4. **Substitute values:**
$$84 = 45 + 30 + 40 - 11 - 15 - 10 + |H \cap P \cap B|$$
5. **Simplify:**
$$84 = 115 - 36 + |H \cap P \cap B|$$
$$84 = 79 + |H \cap P \cap B|$$
6. **Solve for triple intersection:**
$$|H \cap P \cap B| = 84 - 79 = 5$$
**Answer:** 5% of the students study all three subjects.
