Leah found that 25% of the students in her class
prefer ice cream for dessert

=> Now, if she has 24 students in her class. Let’s find out how many of her
students prefer ice cream for dessert.

=> 24 students = is the 100% of the number of student.

Now, 25% of it preferred ice cream as dessert. Lets solve

=> 25% / 100% = .25

Now, multiply this decimal with the value of our 100%

=> 24 * .25

=> 6, thus 6 of her students prefer ice cream for dessert.
