From a recent news article about the primary election for the Domestic Party
In yesterday's primary election for the nomination of the Domestic Party for the vacant town council seat, Amy Baerga won with 80 votes and will go on to the general election next month. The other two candidates, Sheldon Aaronson and Anil Chouhary received 60 votes and 45 votes, respectively. The party's recent change in voting procedure, allowing members of the party who fill out a ballot to vote for either one or two of the candidates, appears to have helped assure victory for the party's up-and-comer. 15 of the people who voted for Aaronson also voted for Baerga, and 20 of the people who voted for Chouhary also voted for Baerga. A total of 90 voters voted for at least one of the two establishment candidates, Aaronson and Chouhary. In what officials are calling a disappointing turnout, only 3/5 of the members of the Domestic Party filled out a ballot for this primary election.

Here is my venn approach:
#1 and #2 can be drawn using info given in question,
now we know that SA+AC = 90 votes, but we know SA got 60 and AC got 45, hence 15 votes have to be common, hence figure #3,
so we can deduce: people who voted for 2 people: 15+20+15 = 50
hence total members = total votes - no. of people who voted for 2 people = 185 - 30 = 135
this 135 is given to be 3/5th of toal votes, so total votes : 135 * 5 / 3 = 225
also from the diagram in which AB is involved #1 and #2, we see 35 people from here share voted to SA and AC,
so who voted only for AB = 80 - 35 = 45, similarly find for others
let me know if anyone needs further help, I tried my best, pardon the poor diagram

This problem requires detail breakdowns...
Amy Baerga (AB): 80
Sheldon Aaronson (SA): 60
Anil Chouhary (AC): 45
Overlap:
AB and SA: 15
AB and AC: 20
SA and AC: 15
Only
AB: 45
SA: 30
AC: 10
Caution:
AB and SA and AC cannot happen (since "a ballot to vote for either one or two of the candidates")
That's basically all the numbers in this question~ Hope it helps!

= 270, this statement can be inferred and the answer is Yes.
of the members of the Domestic Party voted in this primary election. If this statement is true, this means that there are 
people who voted in this primary election. Now, you need to determine whether this is true. To determine whether there are 225 members of the party, you need to know how many people voted. You know that 90 people voted for either Sheldon Aaronson or Anil Chouhary. Voters who cast a ballot but did not vote for either Sheldon Aaronson or Anil Chouhary must have voted exclusively for Amy Baerga. You know that a total of 80 voted for Amy Baerga, 15 of whom also voted for Sheldon Aaronson and 20 of whom also voted for Anil Chouhary. Therefore 80 - 15 - 20 = 45 voted exclusively for Amy Baerga. That means that a total of 90 + 45 = 135 people cast a ballot in this primary election. Therefore, this statement is true.
