Answer: D) 780 is the right option. The total number of students go to Jones High School=780.


Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total students go to the Jones High School be 'x'.

Percentage of students ride the bus=35%

Number of students ride the bus= 273

According to the given question,

35% of x=273

\(\\\Rightarrow\frac{35}{100}\times\ x=273\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{273\times100}{35}\\\Rightarrow\ x=780\)

he total number of students go to Jones High School=780.
