Answer:

300 Students

x = 300

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the percentage of students that walk to school

55% + 10% = 65%

100% - 65% = 35%

35% Walk to School

2. Find what 1% of the school is

105 is 35% of the number

105 ÷ 35 = 3, 35 ÷ 35 = 1

1% of the population is 3,

3. Multiply by 100 to find the final value of x

1% of the population is 3,

3 x 100 = 300

so 100% of the population is 300
