Question

Tuition for one year at the community college Sean would like to attend is about $8,880. Sean plans to save money each month for the next 2 years to help pay for his first year. If his parents plan to

contribute $6,000 toward his first year, what is the minimum about Sean must save each month to have enough money to pay for his first year of tuition?

$120

$240

$60

$80

Answer 1

$120

EXPLANATION

since the total cost is $8880

and his parents are giving $6000

so left money he need to save is $2880

now he has time of 2 years which means 24 months

so using unitary method

24 months = $2880

1 month= $2880/24

1 month = $116.66

which is nearly $120
