Question

Mrs. Conley asks her class what kind of party they want to have to celebrate their excellent behavior. Out of all the students in the class, 5 want an ice cream party, 7 want a movie party, 10 want a costume party, and the rest are undecided. If 20, percent want an ice cream party, how many students are in the class?

Answer 1

So let's just say "x" is our variable that represents the total number of students in the class. We know that 5 is 20% of x. We can also understand that 0.20x = 5. So 0.20x divided by 0.20 gives us the remaining variable, x. If we do that, we also need to divided the other side by 0.20, so 5 divided by 0.20 is 25. The answer: There are 25 students in Mrs. Conley's class.
