The total cost is $17,955.

Let x be the total amount of his tuition. He paid for 44% of it, or 0.44, with his scholarship. This leaves 100%-44% = 56% = 0.56 of it to be taken care of with loans. We know he took out 10054.52 in loans:

0.56x = 10054.52

Divide both sides by 0.56:
0.56x/0.56 = 10054.52/0.56
x = 17954.50 ≈ 17955

$-\dfrac{1}{2}(-4+2x)=-6-4x\ \ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ (-2)\\\\-4+2x=12+8x\ \ \ \ |add\ 4\ to\ both\ sides\\\\2x=16+8x\ \ \ \ \ |subtract\ 8x\ from\ both\ sides\\\\-6x=16\ \ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ (-6)\\\\x=-\dfrac{16}{6}\\\\x=-\dfrac{8}{3}\\\\\boxed{x=-2\frac{2}{3}}$

Answer:

1. 1800 square cm.

2. See below

3. 45000 square cm.

Explanation:

Part 1

The dimensions of the drawing are 36cm by 50cm.

$\begin{gathered} \text{The area of the board}=36\times50 \\ =1800\operatorname{cm}^2 \end{gathered}$

Part 2

Given a scale factor, k

If the area of the scale drawing is A; then we can find the area of the actual board by multiplying the area of the scale drawing by the square of k.

Part 3
