we have

using a graph tool
see the attached figure
For t=0 d=4 -------> the y-intercept
that means that at the time t=0 the house was four units away.
For t=60 min d=0 -------> x-intercept
that means he was already at home at the time t=60 minutes.
therefore
the graph of this equation represents the walk towards the house
We know that the total number of students is 180, so 180 is the 100 precent of the students, now we can set up a proportion and solve
180/100=135/x
x=135 times 100 over 180
x=75%
The solution for your answer is 12
