A college spends 40% of an individual's tuition on salaries and the remainder on other costs. If they spend $1,800 on other costs, how much is an individual's tuition?

$3000

Step-by-step explanation:

If the remainder is spent on other costs, then that means 60% of the tuition as spent on other costs.

To find the total tuition, divide 1800 by 0.6:

1800/0.6

= 3000

So, their tuition was $3000

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
