b. $800
c. $1,000
d. $6,800
e. $7,000

Answer 1

$800

Step-by-step explanation:

Pedro's tuition costs of $6,000 is a personal expense and does not qualify as a charitable contribution.

Pedro's donation to the church of $1,000 is charity, but he has to deduct the registration fee of $200 from it. Thus, his total charitable contribution is $1,000 - $200 = $800
