Answer:
1,750 students would actually enroll.
Step-by-step explanation:
So what you need to do here is take a portion of a whole, then take a portion of that portion. Each time you're multiplying the portion (%) by the thing you're taking a portion of, usually in decimal or fraction form.
The first one gets you 10,000 * 0.7 = 7,000
Do it again! 7,000 * 0.25 = 1,750
Don't forget your units! (:
Another way of doing it is to multiply both portions together and multiply that by the total. Mathematically, it's the exact same, but the above way makes it easier to understand what's happening and why.
