Question

Wei has already saved $1,220 for college. She expects the total cost of her first year to be $9,850, and she expects to receive grants and scholarships that total $2,120. How much money should she save to be able to pay for her first year of college?

Answer 1

Answer: she needs to save $6510

Explanation:

In the first year, she expects her total cost to be $9,850. Wei has already saved $1,220 for college. This means that the remaining amount that she needs would be

9850 - 1220 = $8630

she expects to receive grants and scholarships that total $2,120. Therefore, the amount of money that she should save to be able to pay for her first year of college would be 8630 - 2120 = $6510

Answer 2

Explanation:

Total expected cost = $9,850,

Total grants expected = $2,120

Savings. =$1,220

Total expected cost - Total grant + Savings

$,9850 - $2,120 + $1,220

$9,850 - $3,340

First year expected tuition = $6,510
