There are 79 people that own pets. 15 people own only dogs, 10 people own only cats, 5 people own only cats and dogs, 3 people own cats, dogs and snakes. How many total snakes are there?  Choose the most appropriate option
A) 2	B) 4	C) 8	D) 49	E) 32

Rationale: lets assign variables to all the areas in venn diagram of three . three different units are dog , cat , snake = total = 79 only dog = d = 15 only cat = c = 10 only snake = s exactly dog and cat = 5 exactly dog and snake = x exactly cat and snake = y all three = 3 so 79 = 15 + 10 + 5 + 3 + x + y + s we need to know total snakes = x + y + s + 3 = 49 answer : d
Answer: D
