Question 683802
The ratio of ( accepted ) / ( not accepted ) = {{{ 14/31 }}}
Let {{{ x }}} = number who were accepted
{{{ 1665 - x }}} = number who were not accepted
--------------
{{{ 14/31 = x / ( 1665 - x ) }}}
{{{ 14*( 1665 - x ) = 31x }}}
{{{ 23310 - 14x = 31x }}}
{{{ 45x = 23310 }}}
{{{ x = 518 }}}
518 were accepted
check:
{{{ 1665 - 518 = 1147 }}}
{{{ 518 / 1147 = .4516 }}}
{{{ 14/31 = .4516 }}}
OK
