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?

.4*20000 =8000
It says the answer is 4800 but I don't know how they arrived at that answer
20,000 * 0.6 = 12,000 are accepted
12,000 * 0.4 = 4800 actually enroll
12,000 * 0.4 = 4800 actually enroll
Accept = .6(20000) = 12000
40% enrolled
12000(.4) = 4800
40% enrolled
12000(.4) = 4800
This is difficult but it really comes down to:
40% enrolled
12000 (.4) = 4800
12000 are accepted
40% enrolled
12000 (.4) = 4800
12000 are accepted
