Question

A large university accepts ​60% of the students who apply. Of the students the university​ accepts, ​35% actually enroll. If 30000 students​ apply, how many actually​ enroll?

Answer 1

To find how many students actually enroll, we multiply the number of applicants (30,000) by the acceptance rate (60%) to get the number of accepted students, and then multiply the accepted students (18,000) by the enrollment rate (35%) to determine the number of students who enroll (6,300).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves calculating the number of students who actually enroll at a university after applications and acceptances. Since 60% of the 30,000 students who apply are accepted, we first find the number of accepted students. Then, we calculate 35% of the accepted students to find out how many actually enroll.

1. Calculate the number of accepted students: 30,000 students × 60% = 18,000 students accepted.
2. Calculate the number of enrolled students: 18,000 students × 35% = 6,300 students actually enroll.
