Solution

A. At the beginning of the first day (Day 1), the number of people still healthy is the total population minus the initially infected. So, 7494 - 92 = 7402 people are still healthy.

B. The number of people who will fall ill during the first day is 11% of those still healthy. So, 11/100 * 7402 = 814 people will fall ill during the first day (rounded to the nearest whole number).

C. The total number of people infected after the first day is the initially infected plus those who fell ill during the first day. So, 92 + 814 = 906 people are infected after the first day.
