We know that 100-44=56 which is the percent NOT covered by the scholarship.  So 56% was paid by student loans.  Cross multiply.  56/100 (which is 56%) equals $10,054.52.  56/100=10054.52/x (letting x be the total cost)

100x10,054.52=1005452
divide by 56=$17,954.50 which is the total cost of tuition.

The cost of parkers tuition is $17954.50 if Parker was able to pay for 44 percent of his college tuition with his scholarship. The remaining $10,054.52 he paid for with a student loan.

What is the percentage?

It is defined as the ratio of two numbers expressed in the fraction of 100 parts. It is the measure to compare two data, the % sign is used to express the percentage.

We have:

The percent he pays with college tuition = 44%

The fee in percent which is not paid by scholarship = 100 - 44 = 56%

Let x be the total amount of parker tuition, then the value of x:

[tex]\rm \dfrac{56}{100}x= 10054.52[/tex]

x = $17954.50

Thus, the cost of parkers tuition is $17954.50 if Parker was able to pay for 44 percent of his college tuition with his scholarship. The remaining $10,054.52 he paid for with a student loan.
