    In this class of 4/5 students are right handed. if there are 20 right handed students, what is the total number of students in this class?

    Let x be the total number of students in the class. We have:
    4/5x = 20

    Cross multiplying or using our equation calculator, we get:
    4x = 100

    Divide each side by 4
    x = 25
