Answer:the average this year is $13284

Explanation:

Engineering students at riverside college last year received, on. Average, $11,070 in scholarships and grant money. This year, the average is 20% higher. The value of the increase would be

20/100 × 11070 = 0.2 × 11070 = $2214

Therefore, the average this year would be the sum of the average last year and the value of the increase. It becomes

11070 + 2214 = $13284
