Of the 5,200 teens, 1040 said they do not enjoy going to the movies in their free time.

Explanation:

If we know 80% of the 5,200 teens said they enjoy going to the movies, we know 20% said they do not enjoy it.

To find 20% of 5,200, we convert 20% to a decimal:
20% = \frac 20 100 = 0.2

And then we multiply this by 5,200:
0.2 \times 5,200 = 1040

So, we know that 1040 teens said they do not enjoy going to the movies in their free time.
