In 2000, the charge for making a call with a cellular phone was 16 rupees per minute (about 27 U.S. cents) By 2011 that rate had fallen to 1 paisa per second-roughly 1 cent per minute. In the same time period, the number of mobile subscribers skyrocketed from 2 million to 584 million. Today, there are 930 million cellular subscribers, making India the world's second largest mobile phone market. How did all this come about?

- Refer to the article below: FRONT PAGE College Tuition Up Again College gets more expensive again. In-state tuition at public four-year colleges rose 2.3 percent in 2019-2020, to an average of $10,440 per year. Out-of-state students paid an average of $26,820 to attend. Private four-year colleges also saw even bigger price hikes: 3.4 percent-to an average of $36,880. Tuition prices have been outpacing general inflation rates for many years. Source: The College Board. If tuition keeps increasing at the same rate as in 2019-2020, how much will it cost to complete a degree at a private college in four years (2019-2023)?
