Answer:

600 students go to East Middle School

Explanation:

Since 168 represents 28% of the total students at East Middle School, we're essential asking 168 is 28% of what number (n):

28% of n = 168

Thus, we can find n using the following equation:

(0.28n = 168) / 0.28

n = 600

Therefore, there are 600 students at East Middle School in all.
