Answer:

189

Explanation:

People that can swim:

16% × 225 = 0,16 × 225 = 36

People that can't swim:

225 - 36 = 189

Explanation:

if 16% of 225 can swim than 84% of 225 can't swim.

so,

16% of 225

→ 225/100 × 16

→ 36

now,

225 - 36 = 189

there, 189 students can't swim.

you can also get the answer by just finding 84% of 225.

hope this answer helps you dear!
