21 students are in the class.
To solve for the total number of students:
Let x be the total number of students in the class.
According to the problem, 14 students like lemonade, which is 2/3 of the total number of students. So:
14 = (2/3)x
Multiplying both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction:
42 = 2x
Dividing both sides by 2:
x = 21
Therefore, there are 21 students in the class.
