Explanation

Community college costs $3,000 + $1,000 = $4,000 per year, and its $1,000 in aid brings the yearly cost to $3,000. The university costs $10,000 + $11,500 = $21,500 per year; after $15,000 in scholarships and grants and $4,000 in work-study, the yearly cost is $2,500. Option A costs 2($3,000) + 2($2,500) = $11,000, while Option B costs 4($2,500) = $10,000. Therefore, Option B saves him $1,000.
