Answer:

520 out of 800 students ride the bus

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Proportion = 65\%[/tex]

[tex]Students = 800[/tex]

Required

Determine the number of students [tex]that\ ride\ the\ bus[/tex]

To do this, we simply multiply the proportion by the total number of students.

i.e.

[tex]Bus = Proportion * Students[/tex]

[tex]Bus = 65\% * 800[/tex]

Express the percentage as decimal

[tex]Bus = 0.65* 800[/tex]

[tex]Bus = 520[/tex]
