1. Problem Description

The problem states that 480 pupils in a school are boys, and they represent 80% of the school's total enrollment. We need to find the total number of pupils in the school.

2. Solution Steps

Let $T$ be the total number of pupils in the school.

We are given that 80% of the total number of pupils is equal to

4

8

0. We can write this as:

$0.80 \times T = 480$

To find $T$, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 0.80:

$T = \frac{480}{0.80}$

$T = \frac{480}{\frac{8}{10}}$

$T = 480 \times \frac{10}{8}$

$T = \frac{4800}{8}$

$T = 600$

3. Final Answer

The total number of pupils in the school is

6

0

0. The answer is C. 600.
