Question

Of the students at I.S. 59, 230 signed up for the school picnic. That was 50% of all students in the school. How many students attend I.S. 59

Answer 1

Answer: 460 students

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, let the total number of students that attend I.S. 59 be represented by x.

Since we've been given the information that 230 signed up for the school picnic which was 50% of all students in the school. Then, the students in the school will be:

= 50% of x = 230

0.5 × x = 230

0.5x = 230

x = 230/0.5

x = 460

Therefore, 460 students attend the school.
