Question:medium

If 100 fewer students had applied and 50 fewer were selected, the ratio selected:unselected would be \(7:4\). In reality, the ratio selected:unselected was \(3:2\). How many students had applied?

Show Hint

Translate ratio statements into variables first (\(3k,2k\)). For “if less/more” scenarios, adjust both selected and unselected consistently before forming the new ratio.
