Problema Solution
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 provided by our tutors
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.
