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?

let the total students in the class be x

5 students that is 20 % of total students, want ice cream party

then we have to calculate 20% of total students that is equal to 5

now, equation of total students are:-

x*20%=5

x*20/100=5

x=5*100/20

x=25 students in the class
