According to a national survey of asthma:

"A" is the number of citizens of Oklahoma who had suffered from asthma during their life as on May 1, 2010.

"B" is the  population on June 30, 2010.

And "C" is the number of new cases registered for asthama in the same year that is in the year 2010.

Thus the incidence rate per 100,000 of asthma is expressed as (C/B) x 100,000

That is the ratio of new cases registered for asthama inthe year 2010 to the population of Oklahoma in the year 2010 multiplied by 100,000.

Thus the answer is (C/B) x 100,000
