Question 1159650: After the premiere of the new comedy Bumblebee, moviegoers were asked in a quick poll whether they liked the movie. Out of 20 adults, all but 5 said they liked the movie, whereas out of 50 teenagers, all but 7 said they liked the movie.
Fill in the blanks of the statement below to make the statement the most reasonable possible.
At the movie premiere, Adult or Teenage moviegoers liked the movie more because only__% disliked the movie, whereas__% of the Adult or teenage moviegoers disliked the movie.
Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! dislike for adult was 5/20 (25%) and teenagers 7/50 (14%)
this is 12/70 or 17.14% combined.
Adult or teenage moviegoers liked the movie more than disliked, whereas 17% of a group of 70 including both disliked it. One way. One could simply say 1/4 of adults disliked it and about 1/7 of all teenagers said they did.
The wording is unclear to me because both parts of the reason are saying the same thing.
