Assume the total number of students to be 100.
It is given that 24% are boys.
So, total number of boys = 24% of 100 = 24
Thus, the total number of girls will be = (100-24)% i.e. 76%.
So, the total number of girls = 76% of 100 = 76
But, it is given that there are 456 girls.
Now, for 76 girls, total students are 100
For, 1 girl, total students will be 100/76
Therefore, for 456 girls, the total number of students will be = 100/76 × 456 = 45600/76 = 600
Thus, the total number of students = 600.
