Holly plans to attend community college next year. Her expenses are only $1,200 because her parents are paying the rest. Holly earned a $750 scholarship. How much will she need to pay from her savings? $450 $750 $1,200 $1,950

Answer 1

$450 because 1,200 minus 750 is 450. 1200 being expenses and 750 being scholarship. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is option A,
`$ 450\\`

The additional amount required to be paid over and above the scholarship amount

`= $1,200 - $750\\= $ 450\\`
