    There are 180 students at the school

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If 10% of the students like the color purple, then 100-10 = 90% do not like the color purple.

    Students * percentage that do not like = students that do not like

    students * 90% = 162

    Change to decimal form

    students *.90 = 162

    Divide each side by. 90

    students *.90/.90 = 162/.90

    students = 180

    There are 180 students at the school
