Question

If a university accepts only 75 percent of applicants, and only 45 percent of accepted applicants enroll, what percentage of total applicants enroll

Answer 1

Answer = 33.75%

Step-by-step explanation: It might be intuitive to think of percentages as a part of 100. If only 75 percent of 100 applicants are accepted. Then 75 people are accepted. We now need to find 45 percent of 75 people. In order to do this we need to convert 45 percent into its decimal form and multiply it by 75.

.45*75 = 33.75 of the original 100 Applicants have enrolled.
