200 people watched a movie. 55% of the people liked the movie. How many people did not like the movie?

90 people

Step-by-step explanation:

So, all you have to do is put the equation as a proportional rate. First, you should subtract 55% from 100% to get you 45%, since that's the percentage of the people who didn't like it. Now, put that percentage in a fraction, so 45/100. Next to it, put the fraction x/200, since the denominator should be the total amount of people and x for the people who didn't like the movie. To solve this, you must take the numerator from 45/100 with the denominator from x/200 and multiply it, getting you 9000. Now divide this from the denominator in the fraction 45/100, getting you to 45/100 = 90/200. So x=90.

If that was confusing, just think about it like this... 200 is a multiple of 100, right? So, to get your answer you could just multiply 45/100 by 2 on both sides getting you to 90/200 = 90/200.

Hope that helps ;D
