Answer:
There are 20 students in the class
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of children in the class be = x
from the question, we know that 20% of all the children are left-handed. We also know that 20% of the total children in the class = 4.
This means that 20% of x = 4
Wherever we see the word "of" in an arithmetic problem, we should know that it infers a multiplication there.
Hence, we have
[tex]\frac{20}{100} \times x = 4[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{4 \times 100}{20}= 20[/tex]
There are 20 children in the class altogether
