To find out how much Alvin will need from his family, we first need to calculate how much he can save over the two years.
Alvin saves $250 a month for 24 months (2 years):
\[
250 \text{ (monthly savings)} \times 24 \text{ (months)} = 6,000
\]
Now, we know the total cost of his training is $9,500. To find out how much his family will need to contribute, we subtract the amount he can save from the total cost:
\[
9,500 - 6,000 = 3,500
\]
Therefore, Alvin's family will need to pay **$3,500**.
