Question

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of students who liked the book was 64.

Step-by-step explanation:

After reading a book for English class, 100 students were asked whether or not they enjoyed it.

Now, given that nine twenty-fifths of the class did not like the book.

So, $\frac{9}{25}$ of the whole class did not like the book.

Then, the fraction of the class who did like the book was $(1 - \frac{9}{25}) = \frac{16}{25}$.

Therefore, the number of students who liked the book was $(100 \times \frac{16}{25}) = 64$. (Answer)
