"That" or "who" is fine; "which" goes with an inanimate subject, so you'd be forcing the emphasis onto "number or percent" rather than "students", which may be what you want.

Except that the number or percent didn't do the selecting --- the students did, no?

*nod* I wasn't considering "which" in this specific case; it's merely a general tendency. In fact, I think there may have been an a.p thread on it a couple of years ago, but I should be working, not googling old threads.
