    600 students

    Step-by-step explanation:

    100% - 24% = 76%

    76% = 456

    100% = x

    76x = 456x100

    x = 45600:76

    x = 600 students (total)

    Answer: 600

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since there are 24% of boys in a school, this means that the number of girls will be:

    100% - 24 %

    = 76%

    That means there are 76% of girls in the school.

    Let the total number of students in the school be x, this means that

    24% of x = number of boys

    76% of x = number of girls

    Since the total number of girls is given to be 456, then

    76% of x = 456

    0.76x = 456

    x = 456/0.76

    x = 600

    That means there are 600 students all together in the school
