Question

Elisa is nearing graduation. She just met with her counselor and he showed her this information.

Answer 1

Answer: $14,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Room & Board = $11,500

Work - study = $8000

Grant & scholarship = $9500

Tuition fee = $9500

If she pays balance with a student loan, how much will she need to borrow:

Elisha's bill:

Tuition fee and room and board

($9500 + $11500) = $21,000

Elisha's earning:

Work - study and scholarship & grant

($8000 + $9500) = $17500

Therefore,

Amount to borrow per year :

$21,000 - $17,500 = $3500

For four years :

4 × $3,500 = $14,000
