Samantha’s college runs on a trimester schedule so she receives a bill 3 times a year for tuition. Each trimester costs $1,450, and Samantha must complete 2 years of college to receive her degree. The average cost for books each trimester is $350. Approximately what will be the total cost for Samantha to get her degree?

A
$4,700
B
$5,400
C
$9,050

Explanation

Samantha attends 3 trimesters per year for 2 years, so she completes 3 × 2 = 6 trimesters. Each trimester costs $1,450 in tuition plus $350 for books, for a total of $1,800. The total cost is 6 × $1,800 = $10,800, which is choice D.
