Answer:

The approximate number of  total students in the school is 650.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given the number of students with Mr. Shaffer has = 130 students

Let us assume the total number of students in the school  = m

Now, given: 20 % of total students in the school = 130

⇒ 20 % of m  = 130

[tex]\implies \frac{20}{100} \times m = 130\\ \implies m = \frac{130 \times 100}{20}  =  650[/tex]

or, m =  650

Hence the approximate  total number of students in the school is 650.
