    There were 300 students

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Original * 30 = increase

    Add the increase to get the new number

    original + increase = 308

    original + original*30% = 390

    Factor out original number

    original (1+30%) = 390

    Change to decimal form

    original (1+.30) = 390

    original (1.30) = 390

    Divide by 1.3

    original = 390/1.3

    =300
