Question

At McCord Middle School, 200 students rode their bike or walked to school. This is 40 percent of the total student body. How many students attend McCord Middle School?

Answer 1

Total student is 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the total student is 100,

40% student walked to school , out of total students

⇒ $100\times \frac{40}{100}$

⇒ 40

According to the questions,

40 = 200

100 = $\frac{200}{40}\times{100}$

100 = $\frac{20000}{40}$

100 = 500

Total student is 500

Answer 2

500 students attend McCord Middle School

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose x be the total number of students,

∵ 40 percent of the total student body rode their bike or walked to school,

So, the students who rode their bike or walked to school = 40% of x

$=\frac{40x}{100}$

According to the question,

$\frac{40x}{100}=200$

$40x = 20000$

$\implies x =\frac{20000}{40}=500$

Hence, there would be 500 students.
