You are planning to attend a 2-year college at a cost of $8,278.00/yr for your associate’s degree and then 2 years more at a university costing $14,675.00/yr for your bachelor’s degree. Your parents want you to pay 10% of the cost. How much of your higher education cost is your responsibility?

Answer 1

2(8278) + 2(14675) = 16556 + 29350 = 45906.....total cost

u pay 10%....so 10% of 45906....
0.10(45906) = 4590.60 <====

Answer 2

Height education cost that is not paid by parents is $ 4590.6

Explanation:

Given: cost of a year for associate's degree = $ 8278

cost of a year for bachelor's degree = $ 14675

To find: Higher education cost that is not paid by parents

Total cost for associate's degree = 8278 × 2 = $ 16556

Total cost for bachelor's degree = 14675 × 2 = $ 29350

Total cost of higher education for 4 years = 16556 + 29350 = $ 45906

According to question,

Amount that parent not pay =
`(10)/(100)*45906`

= 45906 × 0.1

= $ 4590.6

Therefore, Height education cost that is not paid by parents is $ 4590.6
