20% of the girls in class have blond hair. 16 girls do not have blonde hair. How many total students? The only answer I could find was from a person who was replying to the wrong question...​

Answer:

20 students

Explanation:

Assuming the class is made entirely out of girls, if 16 girls do not have blond hair, they are 80% of the whole class (because 20% do have blond hair). If 80% of a class is 16 students, then 10% of the class is 2 students and 100% (the whole) class has 20 students.

Hope this helps :)
