Question

A large university accepts 50​% of the students who apply. Of the students the university​ accepts, 40​% actually enroll. If 30,000 students​ apply, how many actually​ enroll?

Answer 1

6000 students

Explanation:

We know

30,000 students​ apply

The university accepts 50% of the students who apply.

50% of 30,000 students = 15,000 students

So, the University accepts 15,000 students

40​% actually enroll

40% = 0.4

15,000 times 0.4 = 6000 students

So, 6000 students actually enroll.
