of 158 consumers polled, some like only action moveis, some prefer just horror movies, and some like both. If 43 people like only action, and 62 like both, how many people prefer only horror movies?
58
55
53
43
To find the number of people who prefer only horror movies, we need to subtract the number of people who like both genres from the total number of people who like only action movies.
Total people who like only action movies = 43
Total people who like both genres = 62
Total people who prefer only action movies + Total people who like both genres = Total people polled
43 + 62 = 105
Total people who prefer only horror movies = Total people polled - Total people who prefer only action movies - Total people who like both genres
158 - 43 - 62 = 53
Therefore, 53 people prefer only horror movies.
