Alright, let's break this problem apart, shall we?

<span>685 sixth grade students is 100%.
</span>
What do we need to do? We need to find 80% of 100% (685 students).

80% is 0.8 of 1.0.

1.0 is 685 students.

We need to multiply 685 students by 0.8.

685 * 0.8 = 548 students.

<span>548 students are going are going to the field-trip.
