During the flu epidemic, 10% of the school's students fell ill on Monday, another 39 on Tuesday, and one-eighth of all the school's students joined them on Wednesday. During these three days, one-third of all school pupils fell ill. How many students does the school have, and how many of them got sick in these three days?

Correct answer:

n =  360

Step-by-step explanation:


0.10·n+39+1/8·n=n/3

2.6n = 936


n = 936/2.6 = 360

n = 360
