Answer:

20 students

If 9 out of 10 student prefer math over lunch, then 1 out of ten DO NOT. With this information you can set up a simple proportion:
(1)/(10) =(x)/(200).

To solve for x, you cross multiply as follows:

1*200=10x

200=10x

20=x

Hence, x equals 20, and 20 students do not prefer math over lunch.

Hope I helped!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

Answer: 180

Step-by-step explanation: 200 % 2 = 100

9/10 = 90/100

90 * 2 = 180
