In Kingsport School, 46% of students are female. If the total number of students is 1250, then how many male students are attending this high school?

A 675

explanation

If 46% of the total number of students is female, then 100% − 46% = 54% of the students are male. Calculate 54% of the total to find the number of male students.

Recall that 54% is equivalent to 54 ÷ 100, or 0.54:
0.54 x 1250 = 675.
