Problem
Refer to Problem 22. Sensing resistance to the idea of raising tuition from members of St. Joseph's Church, one of the board members suggested that the 960 children of church members could pay $8,000 as usual. Children of nonmembers would pay more. What would the nonmember tuition per year be if St. Joseph's wanted to continue to plan for a $15 million budget?
Problem 22
St. Joseph's School has 1,200 students, each of whom currently pays $8,000 per year to attend. In addition to revenues from tuition, the school receives an appropriation from the church to sustain its activity. The budget for the upcoming year is $15 million, and the church appropriation will be $4.8 million. By how much will the school have to raise tuition per student to keep from having a shortfall in the upcoming year?
