Question

Harvard University accepts 6 students for every 100 applicants. How many students will be accepted if 850 applicants apply for admission?

Answer 1

51 students

Explanation:

Do cross- multiplication

6 × 850 = 5,100. Take 5,100 and divide that by 100= 51

Answer 2

51 accepted

Explanation:

Well, if 6 are accepted out of 100, that's 6% or 0.06. To find how many are accepted out of 850, multiply 850 by 0.06.
