Question

Mrs. Conley asks her class what kind of party they want to have to celebrate their excellent behavior. Out of all the students in the class, 5 want an ice cream party, 7 want a movie party, 10 want a costume party, and the rest are undecided.

If 20% want an ice cream party, how many students are in the class?

Answer 1

Hi there Dwu1515!

Let 'x' represent the total number of students in the class

5 = 20% of x

0.20x = 5 divide both sides by 0.20

x = 25 students

there are 25 students in the class.

I hope I helped! :)
