Let T be the number of students who take at least one course. By the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle Theorem, T=s1s2+s3s4T=s_{1}-s_{2}+s_{3}-s_{4} where:

s1=12+20+20+8=60,s2=5+7+4+16+4+3=39,s3=3+2+2+3=10,s4=2.\begin{array}{ll} s_{1}=12+20+20+8=60, & s_{2}=5+7+4+16+4+3=39, \\ s_{3}=3+2+2+3=10, & s_{4}=2 . \end{array}

Thus T=29, and N=71+T=100.
