Using equivalent ratios to find a whole \/

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 20 kids with brown hair and this represents 80% of the class total.

So this means 20=.8n since we don't know the total number of kids.

20=.8n

Divide both sides by .8

25=n

So 25 is the total number of kids.

C. is the answer

You could also setup this equation given that 80% is 80/100:

[tex]\frac{20}{\text{ total }}=\frac{80}{100}

To figure out what that total is there you can divide top and bottom of the fraction on right hand side by 4 which gives you the 20 on top and the 25 on bottom.

25
