Answer:

There are 20 students in your class

Explanation:

88 apples - 4 * ( amount of students in class ) = 8 apples

88 - 4(c) = 8

88 - 4c = 8

Add 4c to both sides

88 = 8 + 4c

Subtract 8 from both sides

80 = 4c

Divide by 4 on both sides

c = 20

There are 20 students in your class

Hope this helps :)
