Answer:

Total students  = 1240

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys : girls = 11 : 9

Number of boys  = 11x

Number of girls  = 9x

11x - 9x = 124

       2x = 124

         x = 124/2

        x = 62

Number of boys  = 11x = 11 *62 = 682

Number of girls  = 9x   = 9*62    = 558

Total students  = 682 + 558 = 1240
