-------
Let "x" be the number of students in the school.
Equation:
140 = 0.30x
x = 140/0.30
------
x = 14000/3 = 4667 students when rounded up

Actually, 140 is only approximately equal to 30% of the students in the school unless this particular school has fractional parts of students that attend the school.

Solve for and then round to the nearest whole number.
