Calculating the Increase in Tuition Costs
Take out Chapter 1 MenuThe average tuition for a four year private college
increases by 5.9% from last year. The average cost last year was $20,051. What is the average cost this year?
Current Year’s Cost = Last Year’s Tuition Cost X Percentage Increase Increase in Tuition + Last Year’s Cost
Current Year’s Cost = $20,051 X .059 $1,183 + 20,051 $21, 234
![Page 40: What to expect READING ASSIGNMENT Read Section 1.1 Personal Skills and the Job Market pg 2-8 Define new terms on a piece of paper or in a word document](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649e265503460f94b1661a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Calculating the Increase in Tuition Costs
Use this year’s tuition cost from above. If the tuition increases by 6% for each of the next three years, what will be the total tuition cost for the four years?
Current Year’s Cost = Last Year’s Tuition Cost X Percentage Increase Increase in Tuition + Last Year’s Cost
Current Year’s Cost = $20,051 X .059 $1,183 + 20,051 $21, 234
