Answer 1

50 students

x=50

Answer 2

Answer: 50

Explanation:

Given : Ten students are receiving honors credit for taking Mr. Friedman's class.

This number is exactly 20% of the total number of students in the class.

Let x be the total number of students in the class .

Then , we have the following equation :-

`0.20x=10`

`\Rightarrow\ x=(10)/(0.2)=50`

Hence, the total number of students in Mr. Friedman's class is 50.
