Question

Elena surveyed her classmates to see how many like to make jewelry. When she asked 20 of her classmates, 50 percent said they liked to make jewelry. How many of Elena's classmates like to make jewelry?

Answer 1

10 students of Elena's classmates like to make jewellery.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total no.of classmates who liked the jewellery = x

Here, in the given problem, given she asked her classmates '20'. So, it clearly shows that total number of students/classmates = 20. Also, in that, 50% said like to make jewellery. Now find 'x' as below,

                    $x = 50 \% \text { of } 20$

                    $x = \frac{50}{100} \times 20$

                    $x = 10$

Hence, the total number of classmates who liked to make Jewellery = 10
