Tuition for one year at a state university is about $30,000. Nyella would like to attend this university and will save money each month for the next 3 years. Her parents will give her $12,500 for her first year of tuition. What plan shows the minimum amount of money Nyella must save to have enough money to her first year of tuition?

Answer 1

Nyella needs to save for 3 years, and her parents will give her $12,500. So the plan that shows the minimum amount of money Nyella must save is:

$30,000 - $12,500 = $17,500

She needs to save $17,500 for her first year of tuition.
