Answer:

84 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's suppose that 100% was last year's percentage of students.

100% = 80

1% = 80 ÷ 100 = 0.80

100 + 5 = 105% (This year)

0.80 x 105 = 84

There is another method to this called percentage increase, but I kind of forgot the formula. Hope this method is also correct for the question.
