Answer:

3000 students

Step-by-step explanation:

If 48% of the students are female, and there are 1440 female students, we can set up a percentage proportion, assuming x is the total amount of students.

[tex]\frac{1440}{x} = \frac{48}{100}[/tex]

We can use the cross products property to find the value of x.

[tex]1440\cdot100=144000\\\\144000\div48=3000[/tex]

Hope this helped!
