Question

Kareem wants to attend a college that will cost $13.800 for the first year. His uncle gave him a special gift of 3000 to use toward the cost. Kareem plans to attend the college in 3 years. How much must Kareem save each month to have enough for the year cost?

Answer 1

Kareem needs to save $13,800 in total

He already got $3000 from his uncle.

Thus, he needs $13,800 - $3000 = $10,800 more

He will need to save up $10,800 in 3 years, that is 3 x 12 = 36 months

To find the amount he must save each month, we will divide $10,800 by 36:

`(10,800)/(36)=\$300`Answer$300
