    The amount of money which Jefferson contribute in order to fund is $6,467,742

    Explanation:

    Let the amount deposited is Y,

    Amount deposited is Y

    Amount provided by fund is $200,500

    Annual return is 3.1 %

    Putting the values above:

    3.1% * Y = $200,500

    Y = $200,500 / 3.1%

    Y = $200,500 * 100 / 3.1

    Y = $6,467,741.94 or $6,467,742
