Question

The school you want to go to has an acceptance rate of 15%. That means that 15% of the students who apply to the school get in. The school took in 1800 students last year. How many students applied?

Answer 1

12,000 Students Applied...

To find the answer, consider that for every 1000 students that apply, 150 students are accepted.

Divide 1800 by 150 and you get 12....which can be translated to 12,000 students
