For every 14 students who were accepted for admission to a particular university, there were 31 students who were not accepted. If 1665 students applied, how many were accepted for admission?
Ratio accepted: not accepted = 14:31, or

Then: 14x + 31x = 1,665
45x = 1,665
x = 37
As fraction accepted = , then amount accepted = , or
