Number of people who were not pleased with the administration's handling of affairs in the country = 88000 * 0.4 * 0.8

= 880 * 32 = 28,160

Only 40% of the users returned the survey i.e. 35,200 returned the survey.

out of these 35,200 people 20% indicated they were happy, so it will imply that 80% indicated that they were not happy.

therefore, 80% of 35,200 i.e. 28,160 will be the answer.

E. 7,440

Total voters = 88000
People who returned survey = 40% of 88000 = $$\frac{40}{100}$$ x 88000 = 35200
People who are happy with current administration = 20% of 35200 = $$\frac{20}{100}$$ x 35200 = 7040
People who indicate they were not pleased with administration = 80% of 35200 = $$\frac{80}{100}$$ x 35200 = 28160
Or
People who indicate they were not pleased with administration = Total voters - People who are happy with administration = 88000 - 7040 = 28160
