Question

Ashley asked the students in her class to name their favorite food she learned the 6 students prefer pizza the most.If these 6 students represent 25% of total number of students how many students are in Ashley's class

Answer 1

Let's assume

total number of students in Ashley's class is x

25% of total number of students prefer pizza the most

so, number of student prefer the most is 25% of x

`=0.25x`

we have

number of student prefer pizza the most is 6

so, we can set them equal

`6=0.25x`

now, we can solve for x

we get

`x=24`

so, total number of students is 24...........Answer
