Answer:

Total number of students= 1,200

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Proportion of students= 10%

Number of students that travel by bus= 120

To calculate the number of students that attends school, we need to use the following formula:

Total number of students= Number of students that travel by bus / proportion of students

Total number of students= 120 / 0.1

Total number of students= 1,200
