48 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Brandon estimates that he will need $18,000 each year to attend a 4-year college.
His family can pay $5,000 a year and he can get a student loan for $10,000 each year.
This means that, each year, $15000 out of the $18000 has been covered. That is the sum of the money from his parents and the loan:
$5000 + $1000 = $15000
That means the amount he still needs to cover per year is:
$18000 - $15000 = $3000
In 4 years, he will need to cover:
4 * $3000 = $12000
He saves $250 a month. Therefore, the number of months he will need to save $12000 is:
He will need to save for 48 months to save the rest of the money he will need for College.
