Answer:

805

Explanation:

First we need to find half of 860

860÷2=430 because the parents are paying for tht

the other 430 he has to pay .

there is an additional charge of 75 dollars every month for 5 months .

75×5=375

now we need to add up his half 430 & the monthly fees for 5 months 375

430 +375=805
