Answer
9000 students would be affected at the university.
Work Step by Step
Let X represent the number of affected students.
Now, let’s set up a proportion in which the first ratio is given, and it is $\frac{6}{10}$, and the other ratio represents the corresponding number of students.
So, $\frac{6}{10}$ = $\frac{X}{15000}$
To solve this equation, we equate the cross products.
6 $\times$ 15000 = 10 $\times$ X
90000 = 10X
Divide both sides by 10.
X = 9000
9000 students would be affected at the university.
