alvin wants to become a hairdresser he can save 250 a month for two years and his family promised to help him with the rest his traing will cost 9,500 how much will his family have to pay

Answer 1

Alvin wants to save for two years, so he will save for a total of 2 years * 12 months/year = <<2*12=24>>24 months.
Therefore, Alvin will save a total of $250/month * 24 months = $<<250*24=6000>>6000.
The remaining amount that his family will have to pay is $9,500 total cost - $6,000 saved by Alvin = $<<9500-6000=3500>>3500. Answer: \boxed{3500}.
