Alvin wants to become a hairdresser. He can save 250 a month for 2 years, and his family has promised to help him with the rest. HIs training will cost $9,500. How much will his family have to pay? (1 point)
Alvin can save a total of 250 x 12 x 2 = $<<250*12*2=6000>>6000 in 2 years.
Thus, his family will have to pay 9,500 - 6,000 = $<<9500-6000=3500>>3500. Answer: \boxed{3500}.
