Assume that the total number of movie theaters in the town = 100 Then number of movie theaters with 3 screens or less = 60 => Number of movie theaters with 4 screens or more = 40 Movie theaters with 3 screens or less selling popcorn at more than$300 = 20% of 60 = 12

Number of movie theaters selling popcorn at $300 or less = 56 => Number of movie theaters selling popcorn at more than$300 = 100-56 = 44

Of these 44 theaters, 12 are those with 3 screens or less
Therefore 32 (44-12) must be those with four screens or more
