Question

A college has an acceptance rate of 17%. If 3,240 students apply, about

how many applicants will be accepted? *​

Answer 1

550

Explanation:

so we know that 17% of everyone who applies (3,240) will be accepted.

0.17*3,240= 550.8

550 students will be accepted

we have to round down as only 17% can be accepted and u cant have 0.8th of a person

hope this helps
