Answer:

500 students

Explanation:

In Jonesville Louisiana 125 students attend last Friday high school football game. This about 25% of the students currently enrolled at the school. How many students are enrolled at the high school?

Let the number of students enrolled at the high school be represented as x

Hence:

25% of x = 125

25/100 × x = 125

25x /100 = 125

Cross Multiply

25x = 125 × 100

x = 125× 100/25

x = 500 students
