Sekhukhune East District Grade 12 Mathematics Project on Post Grade 12 Studies PROJECT THE COST OF POST GRADE 12 STUDIES 03 April 2024 You are in your last year of study at school. Suppose your intention is to study further next year at the university, FET college or any other institution. Find out what the fees will be for the particular course you intend to do. The cost of your studies for the first year will be the current amount. This amount will most certainly be increased the following year. In order to find out what the increased amount will be, you need to find out what the amount was for the past three years. These amounts will give you an indication of the percentage for the next year. ACTIVITY 1: Write an introductory paragraph and include the following: the intended course of study, institution and period of study.
