Question

Engineering students at Oakland College last year received, on average, $6,890 inscholarships and grant money. This year, the average is 100% lower. What is the average thisyear?

Answer 1

The old value of average is $6890

It will lower by 100%

Let us find the amount of lower

`\begin{gathered} L=(100)/(100)*6890 \\ L=6890 \end{gathered}`

Then to find the new amount subtract the lower from the old

`\begin{gathered} N=6890-6890 \\ N=0 \end{gathered}`

The average of this year is $0
