Question

At State College, the cost of tuition is $6168, housing is $3280, the meal plan is $2190, and books cost $1200. How much would you need to pay to attend State College for 4 years given your family will contribute $17,600?

Answer 1

Let's calculate the total cost per year:
6168 + 3280 + 2190 + 1200 = 12,838.
Four years will cost 12838 x 4 = 51,352
Your family will help you out with 17,600, so you will need to pay:
51352 - 17600 = 33,752
