Answer: There are 22.5 films were profitable.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of total films = 40
Percentage of comedies = 60%
Number of comedies is given by
![0.6\times 40\\\\=24](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.6%5Ctimes%2040%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D24)
Percentage of horror films = 40%
Number of horror films is given by
![0.4\times 40\\\\=16](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.4%5Ctimes%2040%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D16)
Percentage of comedies were profitable = 75%
Number of profitable comedies is given by
![0.75\times 24=18](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.75%5Ctimes%2024%3D18)
Percentage of horror were unprofitable = 75%
Percentage of horror were profitable = 25%
Number of profitable horror films is given by
![0.25\times 18\\\\=4.5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.25%5Ctimes%2018%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D4.5)
So, Total number of profitable films were
![18+4.5=22.5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=18%2B4.5%3D22.5)
Hence, there are 22.5 films were profitable.
