Question

a university has raised $8,000 for a new scholarship fund. A university trustee offers to match the donation up 60% if the university can raise $1,500 more for the fund. If the university is able to raise the extra amount, how much money will be in the fund after the trustee's donation

Answer 1

Total amount raised would be 9,500

Adding 60% we have 9,500 + 0.6*9,500 = 9,500 + 5,700 = $15,200 Answr

Answer 2

Well if they match 60% of the $8,000 then it will be $14,300 but if they match 60% of the 8,000+1,500 then it would be $15,200.

Hope this helps
