Final Answer: \(\boxed{21}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Let the total number of students be represented as \(total\_students = 50\)

Step 2 :Let the number of students who like green jelly beans be represented as \(green\_likers = 29\)

Step 3 :To find the number of students who do not like green jelly beans, subtract the number of students who like green jelly beans from the total number of students: \(no\_green\_likers = total\_students - green\_likers\)

Step 4 :Substitute the given values into the equation: \(no\_green\_likers = 50 - 29\)

Step 5 :Simplify the equation to find the final answer: \(no\_green\_likers = 21\)

Step 6 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{21}\)
