Miss Molly surveyed her class of 30 students about their favorite color. Half of the class answered green, one-third of the girls answered pink, and the rest of the class answered yellow. If there are 18 girls in the class, how many students like yellow best? Let's think first. Chain of thought:

30 / 2 = 15 students answered green. 18 / 3 = 6 girls answered pink. So, 15 + 6 = 21 students answered either green or pink. Therefore, 30 - 21 = 9 answered yellow.
Therefore, the answer is 9.
