What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

There are 600 students altogether, hence:

Number of freshmen = (1/5) * 600 = 120

Number of other graders = 600 - 120 = 480

Number of male freshmen = 120 - (0.4 * 120) = 72

Number of male other graders = (1 - 3/5) * 480 = 192

Total number of male = 72 + 192 = 264

There are 264 male students in the high school containing 600 students.
