STEP 1

What is this asking? How many students are in Beth's school if it has twice as many students as Camila's school, which has 1,0251,025 students? Watch out! Don't mix up which school has twice as many students!

STEP 2

1. Set up the equation
2. Solve for ss

STEP 3

Alright, so Beth's school has **twice** as many students as Camila's school.
Camila's school has 1,0251,025 students. "Twice as many" means we're **multiplying** 1,0251,025 by 22.

STEP 4

We're told to use s\text{s} to represent the **number of students** in Beth's school.
So, our equation will look like this: 1,0252=s1,025 \cdot 2 = s.
This equation perfectly captures the fact that Beth's school (ss) has twice (2\cdot 2) the number of students as Camila's school (1,0251,025).

STEP 5

Now, we just need to **solve** for ss!
To do this, we **multiply** 1,0251,025 by 22.

STEP 6

Let's do the multiplication: 1,0252=2,0501,025 \cdot 2 = 2,050.
So, s=2,050s = 2,050.

STEP 7

The correct choice is C. 1,025×2=s1,025 \times 2 = s; s=2,050s = \boxed{2,050}.
Beth's school has 2,050\boxed{2,050} students.
