Researchers state that there will be three times as many full-time students as part-time students and that full-time students will take an average of 14 units and part-time students will take an average of 3 units each semester. The charge for tuition will be $19 per unit. How many of each type of students would need to attend the new college for the total revenue to be $1,282,500 each semester?

Let 'x' represent the number of part-time students.
3x = the number of full-time students
3*x*19 + 14*3x*19 = 1282500

........
x = 1,500 part-time students
3x = 3*1,500 = 4,500 full-time students
1,500 part-time and 4,500 full-time students would need to attend the college.
