Sylvia Franklin · Answer 1

I got 252. I multiplied 180 by. 4 and added 180 again and got 252

Tramp · Answer 2

180/60 = the number of student for 1%

180/60 = 3

so 1% of the school's population is 3 students

so, 3 x 100 = 300 students

and to check:

300 x. 60 = 180

so, the total population of the school is 300
