Answer:
There are 500 students which attends McCord Middle School.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number of students rode their bike or walked to school =200
percent of students rode their bike or walked to school = 40%
We need to find the total students attend the school.
Solution:
Let the number of total students attending the school be 'x'.
So we can say that;
percent of students rode their bike or walked to school multiplied by total students attending the school is equal to Number of students rode their bike or walked to school.
framing in equation form we get;
[tex]\frac{40}{100}x=200\\\\0.4x=200[/tex]
Dividing both side by 0.4 we get;
[tex]\frac{0.4x}{0.4}=\frac{200}{0.4}\\\\x= 500[/tex]
Hence There are 500 students which attends McCord Middle School.
