Suppose in the next year, 2007, College D's expenses and enrollment remain about the same, but in addition to their current revenues, they receive an additional $50,000,000 grant. This would allow them to reduce average tuition by how much?

This question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Suppose in the next year, 2007, College D's expenses and enrollment remain about the same, but in addition to their current revenues, they receive an additional $50,000,000 grant. This would allow them to reduce average tuition by how much?

A) $1388.89

B) $3571.43

C) $5555.56

D) $9500.00

E) $25888.89

number of students = 36,000

A) $

1388.89

Step-by-step explanation:

the college received additional grant which is $50,000,000

and the number of students is 36,000,

and we also know that expenses and enrollment remained the same.

So if we have more money (grants) and nothing changed (expenses remain the same)

dividing the grant by the number of students will show just how much the average tuition fee would be reduced

therefore R = G/n

R = 50,000,000 / 36000

R = 1,388.888 ≈  $1388.89

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2

answer:   {x = -1/2 ,   y = -1
