x=50

Answer: 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Ten students are receiving honors credit for taking Mr. Friedman's class.

This number is exactly 20% of the total number of students in the class.

Let x be the total number of students in the class .

Then , we have the following equation :-

[tex]0.20x=10[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{10}{0.2}=50[/tex]

Hence, the total number of students in Mr. Friedman's class is 50.
