You know that 55% of the students of the school are female, and there are 2,600 students at the school.

To determine how many students are female, multiply the percentage by the total number of students and divide the result by 100:


(55\cdot2600)/(100)=(143000)/(100)=1430

There are 1430 female students at the school.
