Answer:
Percentage of students who did not go for a picnic =85%
Number of students who did not go for the picnic =935
Total percentage =100%
Let x be the total number of students in the school
85/100 *x =935
85x /100 =935
85x =935 *100
85x =93500
85x/85 =93500/85
x =1100
Therefore the total number of students in the school is 1100
Or
100/85 *935
=1100
