52% of the students who took the survey were boys.
To calculate this, you would add the number of boys who took the survey (271) to the number of girls who took the survey (249) to get the total number of students who took the survey (520). Then, divide the number of boys who took the survey (271) by the total number of students who took the survey (520) and multiply by 100 to get the percentage:
(271 / 520) * 100 = 52%
Therefore, 52% of the students who took the survey were boys.
