Question

Candy needs 7,497 for her first year of college tuition. Each of her 2 grandfathers said they would match what she saves. She jas 7 years before she goes to college. How much does Candy need to save on her own each year to have enough for her first year with the help from her 2 grandfathers

Answer 1

357

she has 7 years to save, and she AND her 2 grandfathers are giving equal amounts.

in other words her and her 2 grandfathers have to contribute

7497/3 = 2499 each

given they each have 7 years to save up this amount each she (and her granfathers) will have to save :

2499 /7 = 357 each year
