Question

The tuition at a certain college was $18320 last year. if the tuition increased by 5.1% from last year to this year, determine the tuition this year

Answer 1

$19,254.32‬

Explanation:

Let
`x` be the tuition fee last year.

`5.1`% of last year's tuition fee is
`(5.1x)/(100)`

It is given that the tuition fee increased by
`5.1`%

It is given that
`x=18320`

So,
`\text{new fee}=x+(5.1x)/(100)`

`\text{new fee}=18320+(5.1* 18320)/(100)=18320+934.32=19254.32`

So,the tuition fee for this year is $19254.32
