Given:
Fee = $138
Fee rate = 12%
Determine the tuition cost before the fee.
Solution:
In order to determine the tuition cost before the fee, change first the fee rate into decimal form and then multiply it with the fee. To change percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in order to change a decimal to percentage, multiply the decimal by 100.
= 12/100
= 0.12
= (0.12)($138)
=$1,150
Dolores tuition cost before the fee was $1,150
