    Since we know that 372 out of an unknown amount of students is 60%, we can write this as a proportion, using x as the unknown number.

    372 / x = 60 / 100

    Cross multiply the numerators and the denominators.

    372 * 100 = 60 * x

    Simplify

    37200 = 60x

    Divide both sides by 60 to isolate the x.

    x=620 students
