Answer:

12 students

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 7s+16=100

We know the teacher has 100 markers, and she gave each student 7. If we say that s is the number of students, then 7s is the number of markers she gave out. We also know that she had 16 left over.

2. 7s+16-16=100-16

Subtract 16 from both sides of the equation.

3. 7s=84

Simplify the equation.

4. 7s/7=84/7

Divide both sides by 7.

5. Simplify the equation. Since s is the number of students, we now know how many students there are in the teacher's class.
