Answer 1

Answer 2

There are 7 kids that like cats.

Explanation:

Percents can be represented by the following equation.

`\text{Total}\cdot\frac{\text{percent}}{100}=\text{ Number equivalent to the percent}`

Therefore, if there is a total of 35 kids in the class, and 20% likes cats:

`35\cdot(20)/(100)=7`
