Question

Tuition for a resident at a college campus was $8739 in 2008. The tuition increased by 14.3% during the period from 2008 to 2013. Find the increase and the tuition for the 2013-2014 school year.

Answer 1

Answer:$9988.68

Explanation:

Let the tuition fee in
`2008` be
`x`.

`14.3`% of tuition fee in
`2008` is
`(14.3)/(100)* x`

Given that the tuition fee increased by
`14.3`%,

the increase in tuition fee is
`(14.3)/(100)* x`.

New fee is
`x+(14.3)/(100)x`

Given that
`x=8739`

So,the new fee is
`8739+(14.3)/(100)* 8739=8739+1249.68=9988.68`
