number(biology OR history OR mathematics) =
number(biology) + number(history) + number(math) - number(history ANS biology) - number(history AND math) - number(biology AND math) + number(biology AND history AND mathematics)

you are given each of those values, just plug in and evaluate.

Using what you know about the intersections of sets, and using a Venn diagram, you can see that
(52+60+96)-(21+22+16)+(7) = 156
