A Friday night football home game was attended by 840 students. This is 75% of all the students who attend that school.

Question

How many students attend that school?

63,000 students

1,120 students

630 students

90 students

Answer 1

To find out how many students attend the school, we can use the information that 840 students represent 75% of the total student population.

Let \( x \) be the total number of students at the school. We can set up the equation:

\[ 0.75x = 840 \]

To solve for \( x \), we divide both sides by 0.75:

\[ x = \frac{840}{0.75} \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ x = 1120 \]

So, the total number of students who attend that school is 1,120 students.
