Answer:

609

Explanation:

ratio of teachers to students at Priory School =2:27

Let X= total number of both the students and the teacher

Ratio of teacher=( 2/29)X

Ratio of student is (27/29 )X

But total number of teacher = 42

2/29 ×X =42

2X= 42×29

2X=1218

X= 609

Hence, school's total population is 609
