Question

A large university accepts 50% of the students who apply. Of the students theuniversity accepts, 25% actually enroll. If 30,000 students apply, how many actually enroll?(Whole number)

Answer 1

If 30,000 students apply, then

`30,000\cdot(50)/(100)=15,000`

15,000 students are accepted. 25% of them, that is,

`15,000\cdot(25)/(100)=3750`

3750 students actually enroll
