Answer:
Linda needs to raise a minimum of $9,000 to completely pay for her tuition fee for the first year, that is, $250 per month
Step-by-step explanation:
Tuition fee = $14,000 per year
Linda received a $5000 gift that she will use for her first year of college tuition during her 15th birthday
Amount remaining = Tuition fee - gift money received
= $14,000 - $5,000
= $9,000
Linda needs to raise $9,000 in the next three years to contribute to her first year of college tuition
The minimum amount Linda needs to save each month in the next three years to raise $9,000
= Remaining tuition / 3 years
= $9,000 / 3 * 12 months
= $9,000 / 36 months
= $250 per month
