The kids in mrs. b's class did a survey about their favorite flavors of ice cream. one-fourth of the class likes strawberry the best. one-half of the class likes chocolate the best. the rest of the class, 7 kids, said vanilla is their favorite ice cream flavor. how many kids are in mrs. b's class?

28 Students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's break down all of our variables.

likes strawberry

likes chocolate

7 likes vanilla

First we need to combine the number of students that like strawberry and chocolate.

This then tells us that the 7 kids that like vanilla are the remaining of the class.

Let's use ratio to find out how many students there are in total.

Let x = number of student in Mrs. B's class.

We need to multiply 4 to 7 and x to 1.

So that leave us with:

x = 28

There are 28 students total in Mrs. B's class.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
