85% of the students in Yvan’s school walk to school. If 816 students walk to school, how many students are in the school?

Response-

Since we are using percents we can make an equation out of this question

[tex]\frac{85}{100}=\frac{816}{x}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{85}{100}[/tex] is the way we write percents in math as a fraction

and [tex]\frac{816}{x}[/tex] is the part and whole you gave us

[tex]\frac{85}{100}=\frac{816}{x}[/tex] cross multiply

[tex]85x=81600\\divide\\x=960[/tex]students are in the school
