Question

Lakita wants to go to trade school and study electronics for a two-year program. Her tuition and books will cost about $5,500 per year. She will also spend about $100 a month commuting from her parents’ house to school. How much will her education cost her in total?

Answer 1

Answer:

$13,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Tuition and book per year = $5,500

Transportation per month = $100

In 2 years;

Total tuition and book = $5,500 * 2 = $11,000

Total tuition and book cost = $11,000

Transportation;

There are 12 months in a year, in 2 years = 12 * 2 = 24 months.

Thus, total on transportation = $100 * 24 = $2,400

Total transportation cost = $2,400

$Overall \; cost = Total \; tuition \; and \; book \; cost + Total \; transportation \; cost$

Substituting into the above equation, we have;

Overall cost = $11,000 + $2,400

Overall cost = $13,400.

Hence, Lakita's education will cost her $13,400 in total.
