Higher Order Thinking Jordan needs
$9,240 for her first year of college tuition.
Each of her two grandfathers said they
would match what she saves. She has
8 years before she goes to college.
How much does Jordan need to save
on her own each year to have enough
for her first year with the help from her
two grandfathers?​

Respuesta :

There are multiple ways to do the math, one of the most straight forward way is the divide and multiplication system.

First we must divide 9,240 by three( representing Jordan, and her two grandfathers):

9,240 ÷ 3 = 3,080

Now that we know the amount she must have in 8 year in order for her to have enlightened money after her grandfathers to match the amount, we now must divide that money by 8:

3,080 ÷ 8 = 385

Thus, Jordan must make at least $385 each year in order to have enough money to pay for her first year of college tuition.

Hope this helps! :)
