Answer:

500 students

Explanation:

First, we must figure out how many students equal 1%. To do this, we divide 225 by 45.

225/45 = 5 students

So, 1% of the school = 5 students. Now, we need to find 100% of the students. To do this, we take 5 x 100.

5 x 100 = 500, so there are 500 students total in the school.
