    300 students

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If 195 students is 65%, then we can divide 195 by 65 to find what 1% is.

    195/65 = 3

    So 1% of the 8th grade class is 3 students. We want to know how many students are in the whole class, which would be 100% of the class.

    If we multiply the 3 (which is 1%) by 100 (to get 100%) we can find the total number of students.

    3x100=300

    We can check this by finding 65% of 300, and seeing if that is 195.

    300x. 65=195

    It does check out.
