Answer 2

Answer:

3,500 students enroll in the university.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of students. If 20,000 students apply, x = 20,000. 70% of the students who apply are accepted. Then, the accepted students are:

70% x = 70% . 20,000 = 14,000

Now, x = 14,000. Of the 14,000 students accepted, 25% actually enroll. The students that enroll are:

25% x = 25% . 14,000 = 3,500

3,500 students enroll in the university.
