Question

A prestigious program accepts 2 out of every 9 applicants per yer. if the program accepted 360 applicants, how many applicants were not accepted?

Answer 1

The number of applicants that were not accepted are calculated to be 1260.

The number of applicants that were not accepted can be determined as follows;

Since 2 out of every 9 applicants are accepted; therefore the total number of applicants out of which 360 applicants were accepted can be calculated as follows;

360 × 9 / 2 = 3240 / 2 = 1620

Therefore the total number of applicants is calculated to be 1620, out of these 1620 applicants, 360 were accepted therefore the number of applicants that were not accepted can be determined by subtraction.

The number of applicants that were not accepted can be determined by subtracting the accepted applicants from the total number of applicants as follows;

Applicants not accepted = 1620 - 360

Applicants not accepted = 1260

Therefore 1260 applicants were not accepted by the program.
