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

$14300

Explanation:

30% is the same as .3

They are raising 5k more to the 6k so 5000+6000= 11000

.3*11000= 3300...so the trustee is adding 3300 to the fund, making the total fund 3300+11000= $14300
