Question

Stephen plans to attend community college for two years. His expenses are only $2,000 each year, because his parents are paying the rest. He earned a one-time $900 scholarship. How much will he need to pay for the two years of college from his savings or by working?
$1,100
$2,200
$3,100
$4,900

Answer 1

Total cost = $2,000/year × 2 years = $4,000.
Subtract the $900 scholarship: $4,000 − $900 = $3,100.

Answer: $3,100
