1 answer

Let the total number of students in Ridgewood Junior High School be x.
The number of students who brought their lunch is 4% * x = (4/100)*x = x/25.
x/25 = 44.
x = 44 * 25 = <<44*25=1100>>1100.
Therefore, there are a total of 1100 students in Ridgewood Junior High School. Answer: \boxed{1100}.
