Solution

To solve this problem, we need to understand that the 364 pupils who do not wear spectacles represent 35% of the total number of pupils. This is because 100% (total pupils) - 65% (pupils who wear spectacles) = 35% (pupils who do not wear spectacles).

Step 1: Set up the equation Let's denote the total number of pupils as X. We know that 35% of X equals 364. We can write this as: 0.35X = 364

Step 2: Solve for X To solve for X, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 0.35: X = 364 / 0.35 X = 1040

So, the total number of pupils at Caring Primary School is 1040.
