Question

Help a girl out Jamal plans to attend a 4-year private university. He will receive $8,200 in scholarships and grants each year, and he will earn $1,900 each year through a work study program. Jamal's family will contribute $21,000 each year. How much will Jamal need to contribute?

Answer 1

Jamal contribution = Total fee - scholarship & grant - study program earnings - family contribution

Explanation:

Let total fee = x

Jamal contribution = x - 8200 - 1900 - 21000

= x - 31100

Her fee above & beyond 31100 will have to be arranged by Jamal's own contribution
