Alvin wants to become a hairdresser. He can save $250 a month for two 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 will save $250 x 12 = $<<250*12=3000>>3000 in a year.
So, he will be able to save $3000 x 2 = $<<3000*2=6000>>6000 in two years.
Therefore, his family will have to pay $9500 - $6000 = $<<9500-6000=3500>>3500. Answer: \boxed{3500}.
