at a particular school 50% of students travel by bus. if this represents 600 children how many children attend the school

1200 students at the school

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total number of students at the school

50% ride the bus

600 students ride the bus

x*50% = 600

Changing to decimal form

.50x = 600

Divide each side by. 5

.50x/.5 = 600/.5

x = 1200

1200 students at the school
