Question

You have a choice between going to an​ in-state college where you would pay ​$3000 per year for tuition and an​ out-of-state college where the tuition is ​$6500 per year. The cost of living is much higher at the​ in-state college, where you can expect to pay ​$1000 per month in​ rent, compared to ​$450 per month at the other college. Assuming all other factors are​ equal, which is the less expensive choice on an annual​ (12-month) basis?

Answer 1

Explanation:

in-state-college: 1000(12)+3000=15000

out-of-state-college:450(12)+6500=11900
