Anneliese will attend a school next fall that charges $32,000 in tuition for the first year. Scholarship for $16,000, Pell grant for $4000 and work study grant for $2500. To the nearest tenth of a percent how much of her expenses are covered by the scholarship, the grant and work study program put together

Answer 1

The total amount covered by the scholarship, Pell grant, and work study grant is:

$16,000 (scholarship) + $4,000 (Pell grant) + $2,500 (work study grant) = $22,500

To find the percentage of the total expense covered by these grants, we divide the total amount covered by the total cost and multiply by 100:

($22,500 / $32,000) * 100 = 70.3%

Therefore, Anneliese's expenses are covered by 70.3% by the scholarship, Pell grant, and work study program combined.
