Here is a Venn Diagram of the description:     the students who took none will be:     n - (sum of all numbers)            (where n= 100)

We can use PIE, (Principle of Inclusion - Exclusion)

We can add 48 + 39 + 35 = 122, but this is over counting since some people took 2 or even 3 classes. 

From 122, we need to subtract 20 + 19 + 22 = 61.

But we need to add 10 back to count the ones who took all the classes. 

61 + 10 = 71. 

100 - 71 = 29

29 students did not enroll in any of the subjects.

Total students enrolled in atleast any of subjects= students enrolled in algebra+students enrolled in mechanics+students enrolled in physics-students enrolled in algebra & physics-students enrolled in algebra & mechanics-students enrolled in mechanic & physics + students enrolled in all three 

= 48+39+35-20-19-22+10

=71

Therefore students not enrolled in any of three = 100-71

= 29
