Question

A large university accepts ​60% of the students who apply. Of the students the university​ accepts, 50​% actually enroll. If 10,000 students​ apply, how many actually​ enroll?

Answer 1

we need to find 1% of 10000 first

so we divide 10000:100= 100 (that's 1%)

to find the 60% which will be accepted we multiply 100 × 60 = 6000 students accepted

of those 6000 we need to find 50% which is ½ so we basically just divide by 2, aka 6000 : 2 = 3000 people which will be enrolled
