Answer

shs. 3,150,000\text{shs. } 3,150,000

Step-by-step solution

6 steps
  1. Calculate the school fees after the scholarship discount.

    The original school fees are shs. 3,000,000. The scholarship offers a 50% discount on school fees.

    Discount amount=0.50×shs. 3,000,000=shs. 1,500,000\text{Discount amount} = 0.50 \times \text{shs. } 3,000,000 = \text{shs. } 1,500,000 New school fees=shs. 3,000,000−shs. 1,500,000=shs. 1,500,000\text{New school fees} = \text{shs. } 3,000,000 - \text{shs. } 1,500,000 = \text{shs. } 1,500,000
  2. Calculate the boarding fees after the scholarship reduction.

    The original boarding fees are shs. 1,500,000. The scholarship offers a shs. 200,000 reduction.

    New boarding fees=shs. 1,500,000−shs. 200,000=shs. 1,300,000\text{New boarding fees} = \text{shs. } 1,500,000 - \text{shs. } 200,000 = \text{shs. } 1,300,000
  3. Calculate the cost of school supplies after the scholarship voucher.

    The original cost of school supplies is shs. 500,000. The scholarship offers a shs. 150,000 voucher.

    New school supplies cost=shs. 500,000−shs. 150,000=shs. 350,000\text{New school supplies cost} = \text{shs. } 500,000 - \text{shs. } 150,000 = \text{shs. } 350,000
  4. Calculate the total expenses after applying the scholarship.

    The total expenses are the sum of the new school fees, new boarding fees, and new school supplies cost.

    Total expenses=shs. 1,500,000+shs. 1,300,000+shs. 350,000=shs. 3,150,000\text{Total expenses} = \text{shs. } 1,500,000 + \text{shs. } 1,300,000 + \text{shs. } 350,000 = \text{shs. } 3,150,000

    The aunt's budget is shs. 5,000,000, so the total expenses are within the budget.

  5. Detail payment Option 1 for the new school fees.

    The new school fees are shs. 1,500,000. Option 1 involves two installments: two-fifths at the beginning of the term and the balance before midterm exams.

    First installment=25×shs. 1,500,000=2×shs. 300,000=shs. 600,000\text{First installment} = \frac{2}{5} \times \text{shs. } 1,500,000 = 2 \times \text{shs. } 300,000 = \text{shs. } 600,000 Second installment=shs. 1,500,000−shs. 600,000=shs. 900,000\text{Second installment} = \text{shs. } 1,500,000 - \text{shs. } 600,000 = \text{shs. } 900,000

    Under Option 1, the payments would be shs. 600,000 at the beginning of the term and shs. 900,000 before midterm exams.

  6. Detail payment Option 2 for the new school fees.

    The new school fees are shs. 1,500,000. Option 2 involves four equal installments.

    Amount per installment=shs. 1,500,0004=shs. 375,000\text{Amount per installment} = \frac{\text{shs. } 1,500,000}{4} = \text{shs. } 375,000

    Under Option 2, four equal payments of shs. 375,000 would be made at the beginning of the term, before midterm exams, after midterm, and before final exams.

    The total expenses after the scholarship are shs. 3,150,000\text{shs. } 3,150,000.
