Answer:

There are 120 students in the choir.

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of members who participated in contest = 36

This represents 30% of the total members of choir at the school.

Let,

x be the number of total sutdents

30% of x = 36

(30)/(100)x=36

0.3x = 36

Dividing both sides by 0.3

$(0.3x)/(0.3)=(36)/(0.3)\\x=120$

Hence,

There are 120 students in the choir.
