Talking about a parallelogram, we know that:
opposite sides and angles are congruent
in the picture below:
∠A = ∠C
AD = BC
if one angle is right, then the rest are right as well (making it a rectangle/square)
The consecutive angles are supplementary (meaning they add up to 180)
A + D = 180°

If y and w are consecutive angles, then
w = 180 - 32
=148°
If they are opposite angles, w = 32° (congruent angles)

First, let's write what we know.

We can represent the number of students in the play from each class as L, G, and C. We know that L = 7, and if Gardener has 4 more students than Cho, then G = C + 4.

Then, taking the third line, we can write an inequality:

C < L < G

C < 7 < C + 4

C - 4 < 3 < C

3 < C < 7

If C is greater than 3 and less than 7 and is an integer, than means C is 4, 5, or 6.

Then, we need to find how many students are in the play.

C + L + G

C + 7 + C + 4

2C + 11

So we have our expression for the number of students in the play. Then, we need to find the total number of students. We know that 2C + 11 will be 30% of the total, so if T is the total, we can find T.

0.3T = 2C + 11

(Divide by 3/10 or multiply by 10/3 on both sides)

T = 20/3 C + 110/3

We know from before that C is 4, 5 or 6. We can plug these into our equation here to find which one produces a whole number.

T = 20/3 * 4 + 110/3

T = 190/3

T = 20/3 * 5 + 110/3

T = 210/3

T = 70

T = 20/3 * 6 + 110/3

T = 230/3

We can see here that only when C is 5 will the total be a whole number. That means Mrs. Cho has 5 students in the play. If Mrs. Gardner has 4 more than that, she has 9 students in the play in her class. We now need to figure out the number of student in her class.

The total students are Cho's, Logan's, and Gardner's classes added together. We know that Logan's class is 23 students, so if we subtract that from the total, we can see that Cho's and Gardner's class have 47 students. If Mrs. Cho has 24 students in her class, we can subtract that from the 47, so we know that Mrs. Gardner has 23 students in her class.
