Question

Kiera is in her last year of college at the University of Houston. She has a scholarship that pays 75% of her costs. Her classes cost $14,000 for the year. How much money does she still need to pay the costs not paid by her scholarship? What are some methods she can use to pay them?
PLEASE PROVIDE EXPLANATION! Please don't answer something not related to the question or I will report you.

Answer 1

If the scholarship pays 75% of her classes cost, that means that she has to pay the 25% remaining of the classes cost so if we calculate it as follow:

0.25 * $14,000 = $3,500

Another method to understand:
if the scolarship pays 75% of her classes that will be 
0.75* $14,000 = $10,500

now she has to pay the remaining of the total cost and that will be 
$14,000 - $10,500 = $3,500.
