Question

A large university accepts 70​% of the students who apply. Of the students the university​ accepts, 45​% actually enroll. If 30 comma 000 students​ apply, how many actually​ enroll?

Answer 1

Answer: the number of students that actually enroll is 9450

Explanation:

The large university accepts 70​% of the students who apply. If 30 comma 000 students​ apply, it means that the total number of students that applied is 30000 and the number of students accepted would be 70/100 × 30000 = 21000

Of the students that the university​ accepts, 45​% actually enroll. This means that the number of students that enrolled would be

45/100 × 21000 = 0.45×21000

= 9450
