Answer 1

the answer is 200 140/.70=200 my dude your welcome

Answer 2

There is exactly 200 students in the school.

In order to find this, we know that 70% of students are not in the play (because 30% was in the play). Now, in order to solve for the total number, we can divide the students not in the play by the 70%.

140/.70 = 200 Students.
