Using the inclusion-exclusion principle: $$ \large{ P(sf \cup bf \cup mf)\\ =P(sf)+P(bf)+P(mf)-P(sf\cap bf)-P(sf\cap mf)-\\ P(mf\cap bf)+P(sf \cap bf \cap mf)\\ =\cfrac{129}{200}+\cfrac{88}{200}+\cfrac{71}{200}-\cfrac{45}{200}-\cfrac{38}{200}-\cfrac{37}{200}+\cfrac{24}{200}\\ =\cfrac{129+88+71-45-38-37+24}{200}\\ =\cfrac{24}{25}\\ =0.96 } $$ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion%E2%80%93exclusion_principle
