In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

students on bike = 576

% students on bike = 75%

total students = ?

Step 02:

total students


\text{ \% students on bike = }\frac{students\text{ on bike }}{\text{total students }}\cdot100
\begin{gathered} 75\text{ = }\frac{576}{\text{total students }}\cdot100 \\ \text{total students = }(576)/(75)\cdot100 \end{gathered}

total students = 768

The answer is:

The number of total students is 768.
