Answer 1

The amount to be spent is A=$8400.

The contribution from the parents is 40% which is equivalent to,

`8400*(40)/(100)=3360`

The remaining amount is,

`8400-3360=5040`

The amount to be saved per month can be determined as,

`(5040)/(4*12)=105`

Thus, Lexi needs to save $105 per month for her first year of college.
