Question

Janice is starting classes at Hellenson University in the fall. The cost of tuition for one year is $14,700. Janice earned an engineering scholarship that covers one-third of her tuition. She has also saved $1,000 to use for this year's tuition. Janice and her parents have agreed to each pay half of the remaining tuition. How much money will they each pay for Janice's tuition this year?

Answer 1

Answer: 4400

Explanation:

The scholarship covers $14,700 / 3 =

14700/3=4900

4900 of Janice's tuition.

After the scholarship, Janice still needs to pay $14,700 - $4900 = 9800 for tuition.

Janice has saved $1000, so she needs to come up with an additional $9800 - $1000 = 8800 for tuition.

Janice and her parents will each pay $8800 / 2 = 4400
