Problem

At Typico High School, $60\%$ of the students like dancing, and the rest dislike it. Of those who like dancing, $80\%$ say that they like it, and the rest say that they dislike it. Of those who dislike dancing, $90\%$ say that they dislike it, and the rest say that they like it. What fraction of students who say they dislike dancing actually like it?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 10\%\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 12\%\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 20\%\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 25\%\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 33\frac{1}{3}\%$

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 $\frac{12%}{48%}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) which is $\frac{1}{4}$ or $\boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ 25%}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
