Answer:

357 passengers

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{x}{420}=\frac{85}{100}[/tex] (The [tex]\frac{85}{100}[/tex] is 85% of the 100% people because 15% is missing)

When you cross-simplify you get: [tex]\frac{x}{21}=\frac{85}{5}[/tex] which is [tex]\frac{x}{21}=17[/tex]

Finally, multiply 17 by 21 to get x.

Therefore, x=357
