We can start by setting up a proportion:
41% = tuition cost / total annual cost
To solve for the tuition cost, we can cross-multiply:
0.41 * $25,440 = tuition cost
Tuitions cost = $10,414.40 (to the nearest cent)
Therefore, the annual cost of tuition at the University of Texas for the academic year 2017-2018 was approximately $10,414.40 for in-state students.
During the academic year 2017-2018 the (total annual) in-state cost to attend the University of Texas was $25,440.
