Question

at a large state university, 60% of the students who apply are accepted. Of those who are accepted, 40% actually enroll. If 20,000 students apply, how many actually enroll?

Answer 1

.4*20000 =8000

Answer 2

It says the answer is 4800 but I don't know how they arrived at that answer

Answer 3

20,000 * 0.6 = 12,000 are accepted

12,000 * 0.4 = 4800 actually enroll

Answer 4

Accept = .6(20000) = 12000
40% enrolled
12000(.4) = 4800

Answer 5

This is difficult but it really comes down to:

40% enrolled
12000 (.4) = 4800

12000 are accepted
