when I solved it I got 750.(273÷.35=780)

Answer 2

Answer: D) 780 is the right option. The total number of students go to Jones High School=780.

Explanation:

Let the total students go to the Jones High School be 'x'.

Percentage of students ride the bus=35%

Number of students ride the bus= 273

According to the given question,

35% of x=273

`\\\Rightarrow(35)/(100)*\ x=273\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=(273*100)/(35)\\\Rightarrow\ x=780`

he total number of students go to Jones High School=780.
