Type of calculation: Calculating a percentage of a number
(the scholarship), then subtracting it from the total.
How to use the calculator:
Option 1 (Direct method): Use the Decreased Value CALCULATOR ("Calculate new value after percentage decrease"). Enter the tuition fee $6000 [Original] and the scholarship percentage 40% [Decrease]. The calculator gives you the amount you need to pay directly.
Option 2 (Step-by-step):
Step 1 (Find scholarship amount): Use the Basic Percentage CALCULATOR ("What is X% of Y?"). Enter the scholarship percentage 40 [X] and the tuition fee $6000 [Y]. This tells you that the scholarship is worth 40% of $6000.
Step 2 (Find amount to pay): Subtract that scholarship amount from the total tuition fee.
The formula:
We want to find the remaining amount to pay. The scholarship covers 40% of $6000.
Scholarship amount = (40 / 100) × $6000 = 0.4 × $6000 = $2400
Amount to pay = $6000 - $2400 = $3600
