Answer: 520

Explanation: A way to find even percentages (10%, 20%, etc) is to take 10% of the original number, in this case, it would be 65, and then multiply it by the first number in the percentage. In this case, it would be;

65 x 8 = 520

Hope this helps!

Answer:

520 students will attend

Step-by-step explanation: sorry forgot to explain. An easy way to do it is to multiply the number your using (650) x the percentage (80%) here's an example: 60% of 1,005 multiply 60 x 1005 = 603

603 is 60% of 1005. ;D
