I have been stuck on this question for quite a while:

¿Cuántos muchachos le gustan a Adela?

Not sure why but I can't figure out if it is asking "how many boys does Adela like" or "how many boys like adele".

Thanks for the help.

¿Cuántos muchachos le gustan a Adela?

Think of gustar as “be pleasing to” rather than like. Then take the sentence you get in English and convert it from pleasing to to like.

How many boys (to her) are pleasing to Adela.

So

How many boys does Adela like.
