Calculation
Since the original source does not provide the percentage of total students affected by the pandemic, we must calculate it.
It is done using cross-multiplication: <math>\frac{\mathrm{\%\ of\ students\ affected\ by\ nationwide\ closures}}{\mathrm{\#\ of\ students\ affected\ by\ nationwide\ closures}} = \frac{x}{\mathrm{\#\ of\ affected\ students\ in\ total}}</math>
All of this information can be found on the source provided. To obtain the total number of students affected, please hover over the graph next to the map.
A typical calculation inputted into an online algebra calculator might look like this: 69.3/1,213,390,181 = x/1,725,082,528
