In a certain university admissions department, 70 more males than females submitted applications for admissions. 20% of the females were admitted and 25% of the males were admitted. if a total of 256 applicants were admitted, how many people applied?

In total, 1130 people applied in the University.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total applicants admitted = 256

Let the number of females  who applied in University =   k

So, the number of males who applied =  ( k + 70)

Now, 20 %of females are admitted ⇒ 20% of (k) is admitted

or, the number of females admitted in university =  

Also , 25 %of males are admitted ⇒  25% of (k + 70) is admitted

or, the number of males admitted in university =  

So, according to the question:

0.20k + 0.25(k+70) = Total admissions = 256

or, 0.2k + 0.25k + 17.5  = 256

⇒0.45k = 238.5

or, k = 238.5/0.45 = 530

Hence, total number of females who applied = 530

And Total males who applies = ( k + 70) = 600

Now,  TOTAL Applications = MALE applications + FEMALE applications

                                              = 530 + 600 = 1130

Hence, in total 1130 people applied in the University.

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
