  3. In a dorm holding 1000 students, 500 are taking math, 300 are taking biology, and 200 are taking a foreign language. Suppose 25 are taking all three, 75 are taking math and biology, 50 are taking only a foreign language, and 65 are taking math and a foreign language. What percentage of students in the dorm are taking at least one of these three subjects? Draw and label a Venn diagram and explain your reasoning. (10 points)
