Final answer:

To calculate the number of students who actually enroll, multiply the number of students who apply by the acceptance rate and then by the enrollment rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of students who actually enroll, we need to multiply the number of students who apply by the percentage of students who are accepted and then multiply that by the percentage of students who enroll. Let's calculate it step by step:

  1. Students who apply: 2000
  2. Percentage of students accepted: 60%
  3. Number of students accepted: 2000 * 0.60 = 1200
  4. Percentage of students who enroll: 25%
  5. Number of students who enroll: 1200 * 0.25 = 300

Therefore, 300 students actually enroll.
