Question

large university accepts 70% of the students who apply. Of the students the university accepts, 25% actually enroll. If 20,000 students apply, how many actually enroll?

Answer 1

3,500

Explanation:

Of the 20,000 students who apply to a university, 70% are accepted. That means that:

`20,000 xx 0.7=14,000` students are accepted

Of these, 25% enroll.

`14,000 xx 0.25=3,500` students enroll.
