Answer:

800

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a proportion using the information we are given. We know that 240 students corresponds to 30% and that the total number of students, x, corresponds to 100%

$\frac{240}{x} = \frac{30}{100}$

Cross multiply and solve:

240 * 100 = 30x

24000 = 30x

800 = x
