The state university reported 1183 cases of flu in their student body for the month of january. if this was a 350% increase above the number of flu cases in the month of december, how many students had flu in december?

Let us assume the number of students having flu in December = x
Number of students having flu in the month of January = 1183
Percentage increase in the number of people having flu from the month of December to the month of January = 350%
Then we can write the equation as
350x/100 = 1183
350x = 1183 * 100
350x = 118300
x = 118300/350
  = 11830/35
  = 338
So the number of students that were affected by flu in the month of December was 338. This is the easiest way to get to the required answer.

Heptagon is the correct ans

Not sure what the question is but i hope this x = years100 * x
