    Answer: 1733.33 ≈ 1734 applicants

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x be the number of job applicants being looked at.

    If 25% of applicants become job candidates, then number of job candidates = 0.25x

    If 20% of job candidates receive job offers, then the number of job offers = 0.20 * 0.25x = 0.05x

    If 75% of job offers are accepted, then number of accepted recruits = 0.75 * 0.05x = 0.0375x

    This 0.0375x shows the number of new recruits which is equivalent to the 65 that is needed by the client if the recruiter.

    By equating this 0.0375x to 65, we have:

    0.0375x = 65

    x = 65/0.0375

    x = 1733.33 applicants, for whole number sake because we're dealing with humans, we approximate to 1734
