Neil decides to to go to a technical college for 18 months to get a degree in computer networking there’s six school quarters in the program with a tuition of $530 each. Books for the entire program cost $1,800. How much will it cost Neil to get his degree

Solution:

Given that,

Neil decides to go to a technical college for 18 months to get a degree in computer networking

Number of months = 18 months

There are 6 school quarters in the program with a tuition of $530 each

Thus there are 6 quarters

For one quarter, tuition fee is $ 530

For 6 school quarters, tuition fee is given

Books for the entire program cost $1800

Total cost for degree = tuition cost + books cost

Total cost for degree = 3180 + 1800

Total cost for degree = 4980

Thus total cost for Neil degree is $ 4980

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
