To find out how much Alvin will save in two years, we calculate:
\[
\text{Monthly Savings} \times \text{Number of Months} = 250 \text{ dollars/month} \times 24 \text{ months} = 6,000 \text{ dollars}
\]
Now, we can determine how much his family will need to pay by subtracting his savings from the total training cost:
\[
\text{Total Training Cost} - \text{Alvin's Savings} = 9,500 \text{ dollars} - 6,000 \text{ dollars} = 3,500 \text{ dollars}
\]
So, Alvin's family will need to pay **$3,500**.
\[
\text{Monthly Savings} \times \text{Number of Months} = 250 \text{ dollars/month} \times 24 \text{ months} = 6,000 \text{ dollars}
\]
Now, we can determine how much his family will need to pay by subtracting his savings from the total training cost:
\[
\text{Total Training Cost} - \text{Alvin's Savings} = 9,500 \text{ dollars} - 6,000 \text{ dollars} = 3,500 \text{ dollars}
\]
So, Alvin's family will need to pay **$3,500**.
