Question

A large University accepts 70%of the students who apply. Of the students the university accepts, 50% actually enroll. If 20,000 students apply, how many actually enroll?

Answer 1

7,000 students

Explanation:

Since 20,000 applied to the university you have to find 70% of 20,000.

20,000 × 70% = 14,000.

Then you find 50% of 14,000 because 50% acually enroll to the university.

14,000 × 50% = 7,000

Answer 2

Out of 20000 only 7000 will actually enroll.
Hope this helps.
