Answer 1

1.) C

2.) A

3.) D

4.) C

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the

$8,008 for tuition and fees each year.

Room and housing are an additional $8,392 per year.

Total = 8008 + 8392 = $16400

1.) Scholarship - $1,000

Grant - $1,000

Student Loan - $4,500

Months - 42

Yearly = 42/12 = 3.5 years

Total support = 1000 + 1000 + 4500

= $6500

Savings = 16400 - 6500 = 9900

First year savings = 9900/3.5

= 2828.57 dollars

2. Scholarship - $6,000

Grant - $500

Student Loan - $4,500

Months - 24

Yearly = 24/12 = 2

Support = 4500 + 6000 + 500

= $11000

Savings = 16400 - 11000

= 5400 dollars

First year savings = 5400/2

= 2700 dollars

3.) Scholarship - $10,000

Grant - $2,000

Student Loan - $0

Months - 18

Yearly = 18/12 = 1.5

Support = 10000 + 2000 = $12000

Savings = 16400 - 12000

= 14400 dollars

First year savings = 4400/1.5

= 2933.33 dollars

4.) Scholarship - $3,000

Grant - $2,000

Student Loan - $4,500

Months - 39

Yearly = 39/12 = 3.25

Support = 3000 + 2000 + 4500

= 9500 dollars

Savings = 16400 - 9500 = $6900

First year savings = 6900/3.25

= $2123.08
