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
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

2 Increase for Year 2 = $21,234.00 X .06 =1,274.04Cost for Year 2 = $21,234.00 + 1274.04 = $22,508.04
3 Increase for Year 3 = $ $22,508.04 x .06 = 1,350.48Cost for Year 3 = $22,508.04 + 1,350.48 = $23,858.52
4 Increase for Year 4 = $ $23,858.52x .06 = 1,431.51Cost for Year 4 = $23,858.52+ 1,431.51 = $25,290.03
