Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's go through this problem step-by-step:
-
Current Tuition and Financial Aid:
- Current tuition per quarter: $1,150.00
- Current financial aid per quarter: $1,350.00
-
Tuition Increase:
- Tuition is expected to increase by 9% next year.
- To calculate the increased tuition, we multiply the current tuition by 1.09 (which accounts for the 9% increase):
-
Comparing Financial Aid to New Tuition:
- New tuition amount: $1,253.50
- Current financial aid: $1,350.00
- Since $1,350.00 (financial aid) is greater than $1,253.50 (new tuition), financial aid will be enough to cover the tuition costs.
-
Calculating the Remaining Amount:
- Remaining financial aid after covering tuition:
- Therefore, you will have $96.50 left over after covering tuition.
Summary
- Answer for Box 1: Yes, financial aid will be enough.
- Answer for Box 2: 96.50

Additional Questions for Practice
- What would the remaining amount be if tuition increased by 10% instead of 9%?
- If financial aid also increased by 5%, what would be the new remaining amount?
- How much financial aid would be needed to cover tuition if the tuition increase were 15%?
- What percentage increase in financial aid would be necessary to have $200 left over after tuition costs?
