Explanation:

Answer 2

The total cost of Samantha's college degree is approximately $10,800.

Explanation:

Cost of each trimester = $1,450

Now, total cost of fees per year = 3 x Cost of each trimester

= 3 x $1,450 = $4350

So, cost of fees in 2 complete years = 2 x $4,350 = $8,700

Also, Cost of books each trimester =$350

Now, total cost of books per year = 3 x Cost of each trimester

= 3 x $350 = $1,050

So, cost of books in 2 complete years = 2 x $1,050 = $2,100

So, total cost of Samantha's college = Total Trimester fees cost +Total books cost

= $8,700 + $2,100 = $10,800

Hence, the total cost of Samantha's college is approximately $10,800.
