Consider Luis's decision to go to college. If he goes to college, he will spend $21,000 on tuition, $11,000 on room and board, and $1,800 on books. If he does not go to college, he will earn $16,000 working in a store and spend $7,200 on room and board. Luis's cost of going to college is

Answer 1

$42,600

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the cost of going to college is given below:

the total cost when he goes to college he spends

21,000 on tuition

11,000 on room and board

1,800 on books

So, the total should be $33,800

Now in the case when he does not go to college

So,

he will earn 16,000 working in a store

and spend 7,200 on room and board

So, the saving amount should be

= 16,000 - 7,200

= $8,800

Now the cost should be

= 33,800+8,800

= $42,600
