GPT-4o mini · Answer

To find the total student body at McCord Middle School, we need to use the information that 300 students represent 60% of the total students.

Let \( x \) be the total number of students. We can set up the equation based on the percentage:

\[ 0.6x = 300 \]

To solve for \( x \), divide both sides by 0.6:

\[ x = \frac{300}{0.6} \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ x = 500 \]

Thus, the total number of students attending McCord Middle School is 500 students.
