If 11,300 people apply for entrance to an institution for which there is an 11% acceptance rate, how many people are offered admission?
  1. 1,027
  2. 1,243
  3. 1,159
  4. 1,205
Explanation
Answer: B - 11% of 11,300 is 1,243. Percentages are decimal fractions and must be put into those terms to use in an equation (11% = 0.11). Multiply the percentage by the whole group (0.11 x 11,300 = 1,243).
