Let \( x \) be the total number of students at Cord Middle School. According to the problem, 300 students represent 60% of the total student body. We can write the equation as follows:
\[
0.6x = 300
\]
To find \( x \), we divide both sides by 0.6:
\[
x = \frac{300}{0.6}
\]
Calculating the right side:
\[
x = 500
\]
Thus, the total number of students attending Cord Middle School is **500**.
The correct answer is **b. 500**.
\[
0.6x = 300
\]
To find \( x \), we divide both sides by 0.6:
\[
x = \frac{300}{0.6}
\]
Calculating the right side:
\[
x = 500
\]
Thus, the total number of students attending Cord Middle School is **500**.
The correct answer is **b. 500**.
