Answer 1

Total cost of going to college= $45,900

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to consider the opportunity cost of not working and earning a salary. Of room and board, we will take into account the incremental difference.

Tuituion= $24,000

Room and board= 12,000 - 8,000= $4,000

Books= $1,900

Salary= $16,000

Total cost of going to college= $45,900
