Answer 1

Answer:

2800 students would actually enroll.

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the 20,000 students who apply to a university, 40% are accepted.

It means:

20,000 × 40% = 20,000 × 40/100 = 8000 students are accepted

Of these, 35% enroll.

8000 × 35% = 8000 × 35/100 = 2800 students enroll

Therefore, 2800 students would actually enroll.
