URGENT ITS NOT 200. 24 POINTS A college has 600 openings in its freshman class. In past years, an average of 1/3 of those accepted have come. About how many applicants should the college accept?

Oh that makes sense now

1/3 of the accepted come and that is 600

so 600 x 3 is 1800

Since 1/3 of 600 students come, 1/3 * 3 = 1 whole (600 students) and 600 * 3 = 1800 students
The answer is:
The college should accept 1,800 students, (1/3 of 1,800 is 600)
I hope this helps you!
