Question

A university has raised $6,000 for a new scholarship fund. A university trustee offers to match the donation up to 30% if the university can raise $5,000 more for the fund. If the university is able to raise the extra amount, how much money will be in the fund after the trustee's donation?

Answer 1

the answer is 12800
12,800
30/100 * $6000 = 1800
= 1800 + 6000 + 5000 = 12,800

Answer 2

Answer: $14,300!

Explanation:

Additional Fundraising: $6,000 + $5,000 = $11,000

Trustee Match: $11,000 × .30 = $3,300

Total Fundraising: $11,000 + $3,300 = $14,300
