Stacey M Jones-Oliva's College Tuition
How to earn extra cash to pay for tuition

This is the story of how a college student named Stacey M Jones-Oliva began her own business to help pay for her college Tuition at National Park College, and how she used her knowledge of math to calculate her incoming funds and out-going funds. Let us begin with how Stacey came up with her home business, one day she was just walking around her neighborhood with her dachshund Izzy-B, when she noticed just how many other people had dachshunds’ of their own. Stacey lived in a retirement community and realized just how many people could no longer get out and about to walk their dogs, so she thought to herself “what if I walk their dachshunds’ for them”? she knew Izzy-B would love the company of her kind (she giggled to herself as she looked down at her precious little Izzy-B). As Stacey walked back to her home she had potted out her next move to make this dream a reality and get her new home business up and runny.

Knowing it was a retirement community she did not want to over-charge, but she wanted to be fair to both herself and the client. Using a formula of, f(x)= $______, Stacey could easily find out that if she charged each client $105 weekly she would only need 7 clients to earn $735 a week. The formula works like this (7)($105)= $735 weekly and $735*4= $2,940 a month, which would more than pay for her college tuition of $1020 a year. Stacey knew what each year of tuition would be by simply breaking it down with a formula of T(x)=$700+$320x with T being the number of years, such as, T(1), T(2), T(3), and T(4). To simply break down what tuition she would be paying for the four years she would be attending, Stacey used her math skills to work out this math problem of $700+$320(1)= $1020 / $700+$320(2)= $1340 / $700+$320(3)= $1660 / $700+$320(4)=

    In Robin Wilson’s article A Lifetime of Student Debt? Not Likely, Wilson compares on how even though student loans can get out of control; they do not have to affect the rest of a person’s life. Wilson begins with stating a possible “…national crisis: Student loan borrowing that is threatening the financial future of today’s college students” (256). In other words, Wilson’s statement issues that student loans are beginning to get out of control. On the other hand, many other people borrow an acceptable amount of money, are able to repay it, and become a better person by getting a college education. According to Wilson, “More often, the problem among students who go heavily into debt is that they are determined to attend their dream college, no matter the…

Colleges now have what would be called a sticker price. The first number you see is the sticker price, and what you don’t see is all of the deductions you can make to it.…
