Answer:

$77429.824

Explanation:

Let the total college cost for one year = x

43% of x was paid with scholarship fee

Percentage left = 100% - 43% = 57%

57% is equivalent to 11,033.75

57/100x= 11,033.75

0.57x = 11033.75

x = 11033.75 / 0.57

x =19357.456 ; this is Jacinta's college fee for a year ;

Hence

College fee for 4 years :

19357.456 * 4 = $77429.824
