A market researcher randomly selected 200 people who had expressed that they liked a particular book. These individuals were shown a movie adaptation of the book and were then asked if they liked or disliked the movie. Of those surveyed, 95% reported that they disliked the movie. Calculate the number of people who disliked the movie.

Step: 1

Determine the total number of people surveyed: 200.
Identify the percentage of people who disliked the movie: 95%.

Calculate the number of people who disliked the movie:
Since 95% of the 200 people disliked the movie, convert 95% to a decimal: 95% = 0.95.
Multiply the total number of people by the percentage:
\$200 \times 0.95 = 190\$.

Explanation:

Therefore, the number of people who disliked the movie was 190.
