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

$\frac{85}{100}=\frac{816}{x}$

$\frac{85}{100}$ is the way we write percents in math as a fraction

and $\frac{816}{x}$ is the part and whole you gave us

$\frac{85}{100}=\frac{816}{x}$ cross multiply

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