Question

A large university accepts 40​% of the students who apply. Of the students the university​ accepts, ​50% actually enroll. If 20,000 students​ apply, how many actually​ enroll?

Answer 1

Answer:

4,000 enroll

Step-by-step explanation:

If 20,000 students apply and the university only accepts 40%, the university accepted 8,000 students.

How many actually enrolled?

Of those accepted students (8,000), 50% enroll.

8,000 / 2 OR 8,000 x 0.50 = 4,000 students actually enroll.
