Answer: d. 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the total number of students in the class.
As per given :
Number of students want ice cream party = 20% of x= 0.20x
[we divide percent by 100 to convert it into decimal.]
Actual number of students want ice cream party =5
⇒ 0.20x=5
Divide both sides by 0.20 , we get
⇒ x=
Hence, the total number of students in the class.= 25
Thus , the correct answer is d. 25
