Answer:

So pretend "X" is our variable for the total number of students in the class. We know that 5 is 20% of X. We 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 divide the other side by 0.20, so 5 divided by 0.20 is 25. The so the answer is  25 students in Mrs. Conley's class.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of students in Mrs. Conley's class given the number of students that like ice cream and their percentage is 25.

How many students are in the class?

Percentage can be described as a fraction of an amount that is usually expressed as a number out of hundred. The sign used to represent percentages is %.

Number of students in the class = students that like ice cream / percentage

5 / 20%

5 / 0.2 = 25
