Answer:

350

Explanation:

Let
s= total number of sixth-grade students.

It is given that 60% of sixth-grade students prefer pizza which is equivalent to 210 sixth-grade students. With this, the following can be written:


60\%s = 210


0.6s=210 (
60\% can be converted into the decimal form
0.6)


s = 210/ 0.6


=350

∴ There is a total of 350 sixth-grade students in the school.

Hope this helps :)
