#357# people attended on Friday

Explanation:

Break the information down into separate sentences.

The attendance on Thursday was #420#

Friday's attendance was #85%# of the attendance of Thursday.

(So fewer people attended on Friday than on Thursday)

How many people attended on Friday?

You need to find #85%# of #420#

#85% xx 420#

#=85/100 xx 420#

#=357#
