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?

698
692
687
675

Explanation:

Identify the given values

We are given:

• Total number of students: \(1250\)
• Percentage of female students: \(46\%\)

Determine the percentage of male students

Since the total percentage of students is \(100\%\), we find the percentage of male students by subtracting the female percentage from \(100\%\):

$$ 100\% - 46\% = 54\% $$

Calculate the number of male students

We calculate \(54\%\) of the total \(1250\) students:

$$ \text{Number of male students} = 1250 \times 0.54 $$

$$ 1250 \times 0.54 = 675 $$

Answer:

• 698
• 692
• 687
• 675 (Correct answer)
