The total number of students absent from B. Jones High School on a Monday after a significant snow fall was 218. The total attendance that day was 1487. How many students, in total, attend B. Jones High School?

Total number of students = Number of students present + Number of students absent

Total number of students = 218 + 1487

Total number of students = 1705 (ANSWER)
