Answer 1

Answer: 250 students.
Explanation:
Let x students in 6th grade either purchased their lunch or brought their lunch from home on Monday.
According to the question,
24% of the students purchased their lunch.
⇒ (100-24)% of the student brought their lunch from home.
⇒ 76 % of the student brought their lunch from home.
