Answer: 600

Explanation:

Since there are 24% of boys in a school , this means that the number of girls will be :

100% - 24 %

= 76%

That means there are 76% of girls in the school.

Let the total number of students in the school be x, this means that

24% of x = number of boys

76% of x = number of girls

Since the total number of girls is given to be 456 , then

76% of x = 456

0.76x = 456

x = 456/0.76

x = 600

That means there are 600 students all together in the school
