There are 640 students in the middle school.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Number of sixth grade students = 224
Percent of sixth grade students = 35%
Let,
x represent the total number of students in school.
35% of x = 224
[tex]\frac{35}{100}*x=224\\0.35x=224[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 0.35
[tex]\frac{0.35x}{0.35}=\frac{224}{0.35}\\x=640[/tex]
There are 640 students in the middle school.
