what has 289 been multiplied by to reach 350 ?
That's probably not the best way of looking at the question, seeing as what the question actually says. What is the ratio of 289:47 as x:1(consider this to be the scale factor if that helps)?
If the next year follows the same ratio, then you will get 350:y where y has to equal 350/x. Work from this.

His approach gives the same answer and is much quicker.

It is much quicker, but doesn't help in understanding the question for what it's saying. I would of course advise against the method I showed, but I thought it would be helpful to show the alternative way of approaching the question (as that's what's stated in the question).

Of course it helps in understanding the question otherwise you wouldn't be able to reach the answer
And the portion of people more satisfied with algebraic equations is small.

Ok, well it doesn't really need to be algebraic per se. I was just showing the procedure behind it.
