Of 158 consumers polled, some like only action movies, some prefer just horror movies, and some like both. if 43 people like only action and 62 like both how many prefer only horror movies
To find out how many prefer only horror movies, we need to subtract the number of people who like only action movies and both action and horror movies from the total number of people who were polled.
Let:
- Number of people who like only action movies = 43
- Number of people who like both action and horror movies = 62
- Total number of people polled = 158
First, we calculate the number of people who like only action movies and both action and horror movies:
43 (only action) + 62 (both) = 105
Now, we subtract this from the total number of people polled to find out how many prefer only horror movies:
158 (total) - 105 (only action and both) = 53
Therefore, 53 people prefer only horror movies.
