Answer: 53 people :)

Explanation:

26 in front of him 26 behind him and then we have to put him in the equation so....

26 + 26 + 1 = 53

If you have any questions I would love to answer them! :)

Hope this helps!!! Good luck!!! ;)

27th mean there are 26 people in front of him.

Being 27th from the back means there are 26 people behind him.

Total people = 26 + 26 + him = 53 total people.
