Respuesta :

Answer:$9988.68

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the tuition fee in [tex]2008[/tex] be [tex]x[/tex].

[tex]14.3[/tex]% of tuition fee in [tex]2008[/tex] is [tex]\frac{14.3}{100}\times x[/tex]

Given that the tuition fee increased by [tex]14.3[/tex]%,

the increase in tuition fee is [tex]\frac{14.3}{100}\times x[/tex].

New fee is [tex]x+\frac{14.3}{100}x[/tex]

Given that [tex]x=8739[/tex]

So,the new fee is [tex]8739+\frac{14.3}{100}\times 8739=8739+1249.68=9988.68[/tex]
