You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let +x+ = this year's tuition
+x+%2B+720+ = next year's tuition
------------------------------------------
+.75%2A%28+x+%2B+720+%29+=+2400+
+.75x+%2B+540+=+2400+
+.75x+=+1860+
+x+=+2480+
This years tuition is $2,480
--------------------------------------
check:
+.75%2A%28+x+%2B+720+%29+=+2400+
+.75%2A%28+2480+%2B+720+%29+=+2400+
+.75%2A3200+=+2400+
+2400+=+2400+
