Prorate the given expenses to find the monthly cost.
Linda enrolls for 10 credit-hours for each of two semesters at a cost of $600 per credit-hour (tuition and fees). In addition, textbooks cost $400 per semester. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
First, let's calculate the total cost of tuition and fees. Since Linda enrolls for 10 credit-hours for each semester and the cost is $600 per credit-hour, the total cost for two semesters would be:
2 semesters x 10 credit-hours/semester x $600/credit-hour = $12,000
Next, let's calculate the total cost of textbooks for two semesters, which is $400 per semester. Therefore, the total cost of textbooks for two semesters would be:
2 semesters x $400/semester = $800
Now, let's calculate the monthly cost by dividing the total cost of tuition and fees and textbooks for two semesters by 12 months:
($12,000 + $800) / 12 = $1,000
Therefore, the monthly cost for tuition and fees, including textbooks, is approximately $1,000.
To prorate the given expenses and find the monthly cost, we need to consider the costs of both credit-hours and textbooks.
Step 1: Calculate the total cost of credit-hours:
Linda enrolls for 10 credit-hours for each of two semesters.
Total credit-hours = 10 credit-hours/semester * 2 semesters = 20 credit-hours
Cost per credit-hour = $600
Total cost of credit-hours = Cost per credit-hour * Total credit-hours
Total cost of credit-hours = $600/credit-hour * 20 credit-hours
Step 2: Calculate the total cost of textbooks:
Textbooks cost $400 per semester.
Total cost of textbooks = Cost of textbooks per semester * 2 semesters
Total cost of textbooks = $400/semester * 2 semesters
Step 3: Calculate the prorated monthly cost:
Monthly cost = (Total cost of credit-hours + Total cost of textbooks) / 12 months
Now, let's calculate all the values:
Total cost of credit-hours = $600/credit-hour * 20 credit-hours
Total cost of textbooks = $400/semester * 2 semesters
Monthly cost = (Total cost of credit-hours + Total cost of textbooks) / 12 months
Total cost of credit-hours = $600/credit-hour * 20 credit-hours
Total cost of credit-hours = $12,000
Total cost of textbooks = $400/semester * 2 semesters
Total cost of textbooks = $800
Monthly cost = ($12,000 + $800) / 12 months
Monthly cost = $12,800 / 12 months
Monthly cost ≈ $1,067
Therefore, the monthly cost of Linda's expenses, including credit-hours and textbooks, is approximately $1,067.
To prorate the given expenses and find the monthly cost, we need to divide the total cost by the number of months in the academic year.
First, let's calculate the total cost for one semester:
Tuition and fees = Number of credit hours * Cost per credit hour
Tuition and fees = 10 credit hours * $600 per credit hour
Tuition and fees = $6000
Textbook cost = $400 per semester
Total cost per semester = Tuition and fees + Textbook cost
Total cost per semester = $6000 + $400
Total cost per semester = $6400
Since Linda enrolls for two semesters, the total cost for the academic year would be:
Total cost for the academic year = 2 * Total cost per semester
Total cost for the academic year = 2 * $6400
Total cost for the academic year = $12,800
Now, let's prorate the annual cost to find the monthly cost:
We'll assume the academic year has 9 months.
Monthly cost = Total cost for the academic year / Number of months
Monthly cost = $12,800 / 9
Monthly cost ≈ $1,422.22 (rounded to the nearest dollar)
Therefore, the approximate monthly cost is $1,422.
