Solution

1. ### Break Down the Problem

We know that:

  • 25% of the students are in the Arts faculty.
  • There are 175 students in the Arts faculty.

Our goal is to find the total number of students in the school.

2. ### Relevant Concepts

To find the total number of students, we can use the formula for percentage: Percentage=PartWhole×100 \text{Percentage} = \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \times 100 Rearranging the formula to find the whole, we get: Whole=PartPercentage×100 \text{Whole} = \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Percentage}} \times 100

3. ### Analysis and Detail

Here, the "Part" is the number of students in the Arts faculty (175), and the "Percentage" is 25%.

Substituting the values into the formula: Whole=17525×100 \text{Whole} = \frac{175}{25} \times 100

4. ### Verify and Summarize

Now, we perform the calculation: Whole=17525×100=7×100=700 \text{Whole} = \frac{175}{25} \times 100 = 7 \times 100 = 700

Final Answer

The total number of students in the school is 700.
