To find out how much Alvin's family needs to pay, we first need to determine how much he will save in two years.
Alvin saves $250 a month. There are 24 months in two years, so:
\[
250 \text{ dollars/month} \times 24 \text{ months} = 6,000 \text{ dollars}
\]
The total cost of the training is $9,500. Now, we can subtract the amount Alvin saves from the total cost to find out how much his family needs to pay:
\[
9,500 \text{ dollars (total cost)} - 6,000 \text{ dollars (savings)} = 3,500 \text{ dollars}
\]
Therefore, his family will need to pay **$3,500**.
