15. Paul is going to a college where tuition for one
year is $7,000. His parents will pay for $3,000. He
has a scholarship worth $2,000. Paul also earns
$100 a week at his job. How many weeks does
Paul need to work to pay for the tuition that is not
paid for by his parents and his scholarship?
A 20 B 30
C 50 D 60
The total amount that Paul needs to pay is $7,000 - $3,000 (parents' contribution) - $2,000 (scholarship) = $2,000.
To figure out how many weeks he needs to work, we divide the remaining amount by his weekly earnings:
$2,000 รท $100/week = 20 weeks
Therefore, the answer is A) 20.
