Answer:

There are 250 students.

Explanation:

I reasoned....

If 24% purchased their lunch, then 76% brought their lunch -- because 100% (the total) - 24% = 76%.

So, I set up this up to find the missing number:

190 x

------ = ------

76% 24%

190 x 24 = 4,560

4,560 / 76 = 60

So, x = 60 students, which represents the 24% of students who purchased their lunch.

190 + 60 = 250
