Question

After reading a book for English class, 100 students were asked whether or not they enjoyed it. Nine twenty-fifths of the class did not like the book. How many students liked the book?

Answer 1

Multiply 20/5 by nine so 20/5 simplify into 4 4 times nine is 36, so only 36 kids liked the book

Answer 2

Answer: 64 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total students in English class= 100

Nine twenty-fifths of the class did not like the book.

⇒ $\frac{9}{25}$ of class did not like the book.

Thus, the number of students did not like the book=$\frac{9}{25}\times100=36$

Therefore, the number of students like the book =Total students- students did not like the book

=100-36=64 students.

The number of students like the book =64
