Answer: The cost of Parker's tuition was $25000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of Parker's tuition.
Parker was able to pay for 60% of his college tuition with his scholarship. This means that the amount of his college tuition that he was able to pay is 60/100 × x = 0.6×x = 0.6x
The remaining $10,000 he paid for with a student loan. The amount remaining is x - 0.6x = 0.4x. This means that
0.4x was paid with a student loan. Therefore,
0.4x = 10000
x = 10000/0.4 = $25000
