3/5 students are girls, so 2/5 students are boys.

200 = 2/5 boys therefore 1/5 = 100.

Thus 3/5 girls = 300

Total: 500 students

To find the total number of students in the class, we first need to calculate the number of girls.

We know that 3/5 of the students are girls. So, let's calculate that:

Number of girls = (3/5) * Total number of students

We are also given that the number of boys is 200. Therefore, the number of girls can be calculated as follows:

Number of girls = (3/5) * Total number of students
Number of boys = 200

Since the number of boys is given, we can substitute it into the equation and solve for the total number of students:

200 = (3/5) * Total number of students

Now, we can solve for the total number of students by isolating the variable:

Total number of students = 200 * (5/3)

Calculating this expression will give us the total number of students in the class.
