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

(85)/(100)=(816)/(x)

(85)/(100) is the way we write percents in math as a fraction

and
(816)/(x) is the part and whole you gave us

(85)/(100)=(816)/(x) cross multiply

$85x=81600\\divide\\x=960$ students are in the school
