LaShawn won 71 tokens playing basketball at the county fair. At school, she gave 3 tokens to every student in her math class. She only has 5 tokens remaining.(1 point)

To find an equation for the total number of students, \( s \), in LaShawn's math class, we can start with the information given.

LaShawn initially had 71 tokens and gave 3 tokens to each student in her class. After giving tokens away, she has 5 tokens remaining.

We can set up the equation based on this logic:

1. She gave away \( 3s \) tokens (where \( s \) is the number of students).
2. After giving away these tokens, she has 5 remaining.

So, the equation will be:

\[
71 - 3s = 5
\]

Next, we will solve the equation for \( s \):

1. Subtract 5 from both sides:

\[
71 - 5 = 3s
\]

\[
66 = 3s
\]

2. Divide both sides by 3:

\[
s = \frac{66}{3}
\]

\[
s = 22
\]

Thus, the number of students in LaShawn's math class is **22 students**.
