Here, in the given problem, given she asked her classmates '20'. So, it clearly shows that total number of students/classmates = 20. Also, in that, 50% said like to make jewellery. Now find 'x' as below,

                    [tex]x = 50 \% \text { of } 20[/tex]

                    [tex]x = \frac{50}{100} \times 20[/tex]

                    [tex]x = 10[/tex]

Hence, the total number of classmates who liked to make Jewellery = 10
