#21.47%#

Given that 146 of the 680 students were not present

To find the percentage of students absent during the flu epidemic, divide the number of absent students (146) by the total number of students (680) and then multiply by 100.

( \frac{146}{680} \times 100 = 21.47% )

So, approximately 21.47% of the students were absent during the flu epidemic.
