There are 640 students in the middle school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of sixth grade students = 224

Percent of sixth grade students = 35%

Let,

x represent the total number of students in school.

35% of x = 224

$\frac{35}{100}*x=224\\0.35x=224$

Dividing both sides by 0.35

$\frac{0.35x}{0.35}=\frac{224}{0.35}\\x=640$

There are 640 students in the middle school.
