Question

Lakita wants to go to trade school and study electronics for a two-year program. Her tuition and books will cost about $5,500 per year. She will also spend about $100 a month commuting from her parents’ house to school. How much will her education cost her in total?

Answer 1

$13,400

Explanation:

Step one:

let us first compute the tuition and books for the two years

we are told that the tuition is $5,500 per year

For the two years,the tuition will be 5,500*2= $11,000

Step two:

we need to calculate the cost of transportation for the two years also

in two years there are 24 months

if Lakita will spend $100 per months

then in 24 months Lakita will spend= 24*100= $2400

Hence her education cost her in total is

=$11,000+$2400

=$13,400
