out-of-state tuition at Texas A&M
University in College Station, Texas
was about 3:11. About how much was
the out-of-state tuition if the in-state
tuition at that time was about $2400?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The out-of-state tuition would be $8800.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The ratio of in-state tuition to out-state tuition = 3:11

If the tuition of in-state is $2400.

Let,

x represent the number of out-of-state tuition.

As the relation is directly proportional.

3 : 11 :: 2400 : x

Product of mean = Product of extreme

11*2400 = 3x

3x = 26400

Dividing both sides by 3

[tex]\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{26400}{3}\\x=8800[/tex]

Hence,

The out-of-state tuition would be $8800.
