Hello There today we will solve your problem


\huge\red{\mid{\underline{\overline{\textbf{QUESTION}}}\mid}}

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=960students are in the school
