      In a certain school, 60% of the students are girls, and

      the rest are boys. If the number of boys in the school is 480, how many students are there in total?
      A 1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 2000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 2500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the total number of students be x. Since 60% are girls, 40% are boys. According to the question, the number of boys is 480, so 40% of the total students is 480. Thus, 40% of x = 480 (40/100) Γ— x = 480 x = 480 Γ— (100/40) x = 1200 Therefore, the total number of students is 1200. Correct answer: b. 1200
