Answer 2

Answer:

Height education cost that is not paid by parents is $  4590.6                                                    

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: cost of a year for associate's degree = $ 8278

           cost of a year for bachelor's degree = $ 14675

To find: Higher education cost that is not paid by parents

Total cost for associate's degree = 8278 × 2 = $ 16556

Total cost for bachelor's degree = 14675 × 2 = $ 29350

Total cost of higher education for 4 years = 16556 + 29350 = $ 45906

According to question,

Amount that parent not pay = $\frac{10}{100}\times45906$

                                        = 45906 × 0.1

                                        = $ 4590.6

Therefore, Height education cost that is not paid by parents is $ 4590.6
