The number of people who say they dislike dancing but actually like dancing is, $60%*20% = 12%$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg). Then the number of people who say they dislike dancing and actually do dislike dancing is, $40%*90% = 36%$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg). After this, we would want to find out what percent of the whole school says they dislike dancing but like it, so we would have $\frac{12%}{12% + 36%}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) which would then be $\frac{12%}{48%} = \frac{1}{4}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) or $\boxed{\textbf{(D) }\ 25%}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
