Step 1:
Given data
Total number of campuses = 9
Total budget = $2.4 billion
Total students
= 33629 + 52359 + 8912 + 21493 + 23049 + 20353 + 5431 + 28923 + 7776
= 231925
Step 2
Convert $2.4 billion to cent, multiply $2.4 billion by 100.
[tex]2.4\text{ b}illion\text{ dollars = 2400000000 dollars = 240000000000 cent}[/tex]
Step 3:
Divide the total budget in cent by total number of students
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Money appropriated per student = }\frac{240000000000}{231925} \\ =\text{ 1034817.29} \\ =\text{ 1034817 cent} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Final answer
1034817 cent
