Answer:
There are 600 students in this school.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p represent the total population of the school.
Then (1/3)p represents the number of students who like math. Subtracting this (1/3)p from p gives an expression representing those who do not like math:
p - (1/3)p = (2/3)p
400 students do not like math, so (2/3)p = 400.
Solve this for p by multiplying both sides by (3/2):
(3/2)(2/3)p = (3/2)(400), which simplifies to p = 600.
