First, we need to find out how much Joaquin needs to pay after deducting his scholarship:
$11,000 - $5,000 = $6,000
Next, we need to find out how much Joaquin needs to pay for 50% of the remaining amount:
$6,000 x 0.5 = $3,000
Now, we can find out how many weeks Joaquin needs to work to earn $3,000:
$200 per week x N weeks = $3,000
N weeks = $3,000 รท $200 per week
N weeks = 15
Therefore, Joaquin needs to work for 15 weeks to pay for 50% of the remaining amount. The answer is A. 15.
