I assume he gets paid by hour, and since he cut his ours in half he'll be earning half as much: 8000 / 2 = 4000.

He goes to school for 3 semesters which is a year and a half, so he's earning half income for a year and a half = 4000 * 1.5 = 6000

total cost of going to college per semester = tuition + books = (1400 + 500) = 1900
total cost of college for the year and a half (4 semesters) = 1900 * 3 = 5700

so, by working half hours he already reduced his income by half, making him lose 6000 in the course of the year and a half and he lost 5700 in college costs, this makes his total cost = cost of half hours + cost of college = 6,000 + 5700 = 11,700

Here the answer to your question really depends on what your teacher means by investment, if he means the opportunity cost and college cost then it's 11,700 if he means the cost of college then its 5700.

Answer: 11,700

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume he gets paid by hour, and since he cut his ours in half he'll be earning half as much: 8000 / 2 = 4000.

He goes to school for 3 semesters which is a year and a half, so he's earning half income for a year and a half = 4000 * 1.5 = 6000

total cost of going to college per semester = tuition + books = (1400 + 500) = 1900

total cost of college for the year and a half (4 semesters) = 1900 * 3 = 5700

so, by working half hours he already reduced his income by half, making him lose 6000 in the course of the year and a half and he lost 5700 in college costs, this makes his total cost = cost of half hours + cost of college = 6,000 + 5700 = 11,700

Coras kitten weighs 1,200 grams. If he weighed 550 grams at the last visit to the veterans office, what percent is the increase
Juli2301 [7.4K]
First, find the different of the two weights
d = 1,200 - 550
d = 650

The different of the weights is 650

Second, to find the percentage, we should compare the difference to the former weight. So we compare 650 to 1,200, then multiply it to 100%
percentage = 650/1,200 × 100%
percentage = (65,000/1,200) %
percentage = 51.17%
percentage = 51%

The percent of increase is 51%
