Question

A. write equation in slope-intercept form for the tuition T for C credit hours

B. find cost for a student who is taking 32 credit hours.

Answer 1

A) T = 157c + 218

B) $5242

Explanation:

The average tuition at Chicago State University (for Illinois residents) is $157 per credit hour, fees cost $218 annually.

Total Tuition Cost for the student = Fixed cost per year + Credit per hour times total hours

Substitute the values in the formula

T = 157c + 218, the equation in slope intercept form

Use the same formula that was used above for B, but plug 32 into c.

T = 157 times 32 + 218

T = 5025 + 218

T = 5242
