Question

Alejandra and her family are discussing how to pay for her college education. The cost of tuition at the college that Alejandra wants to attend is $9,000 per year. Alejandra's parents will pay 85% of the tuition cost every year, and she will pay the rest. Alejandra has one year to save enough money to attend her first year of college. What is the minimum amount of money she should save every month in order to reach her goal?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Cost paid by her parents = 85% of 9000

`=(85)/(100)*9000\\\\=85*90\\\\`

= $ 7650

Money need to be saved for her first year of college = 9000 - 7650 = $ 1350

Amount that she need to save per month = 1350/12 = $ 112.50
