Answer: the number of students that actually enroll is 9450

Step-by-step explanation:

The large university accepts 70 % of the students who apply. If 30 comma 000 students apply, it means that the total number of students that applied is 30000 and the number of students accepted would be 70/100 * 30000 = 21000

Of the students that the university accepts, 45 % actually enroll. This means that the number of students that enrolled would be

45/100 * 21000 = 0.45*21000

= 9450
