Question

A college spends 40% of an individual's tuition on salaries and the remainder on other costs. If they spend $1,800 on other costs,

how much is an individual's tuition?

Answer 1

$3000

Step-by-step explanation:

If the remainder is spent on other costs, then that means 60% of the tuition as spent on other costs.

To find the total tuition, divide 1800 by 0.6:

1800/0.6

= 3000

So, their tuition was $3000
