Answer:
22 people saw an horror movie
Step-by-step explanation:
Total people who attended the Sunday matinee = 48
People who saw romantic comedy = 3/8 of 48
= 3/8 × 48
= (3*48) / 8
= 144 / 8
= 18 people
People who saw action movie = 1/6 of 48
= 1/6 × 48
= 48/6
= 8 people
People who saw horror movie = x
Total people who attended the Sunday matinee = People who saw romantic comedy + People who saw action movie + People who saw horror movie
48 = 18 + 8 + x
48 = 26 + x
Subtract 26 from both sides
48 - 26 = 26 - 26 + x
22 = x
x = 22 people
22 people saw an horror movie
