Answer 1

Let the total number of students at McCord Middle School be \( x \).

Since 300 students represent 60% of the total student body, we can set up the equation:

\[ 0.6x = 300 \]

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

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

Calculating that gives:

\[ x = 500 \]

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