Peyton Durham · Answer 1

To find the amount to add to the previous year, you simply divide the percent by 100 and take that number to multiply with the tuition of the previous year.

4/100=.04

.04*13468=538.72

to get you final answer, you add the two together.

13,468+538.72=14,006.72

So his new expense would be $14,006.72.
