    You need to make a Table with the information with a column for activity, # of families using the activity then a column with the fraction of who used the activity in relation to the told families.
    Then ask yourself if they didn't use the activities then what piece of information do you need to find them? 75 20 or 15,
    75 is pool, 20 tennis 15 both.
    Good luck
