Step 1 :In 2019, 220 people bought cars from a local dealership and only 60% of the people were satisfied with their purchase.
Step 2 :We first need to find the number of people who were satisfied with their purchase, which is 60% of the total number of people who bought cars. This can be calculated as \(0.60 \times 220 = 132\).
Step 3 :Then, we subtract this number from the total number of people who bought cars to find the number of people who were dissatisfied. This can be calculated as \(220 - 132 = 88\).
Step 4 :So, the number of people who were dissatisfied with their purchase is \(\boxed{88}\).
