uition for one year at the community college Sean would like to attend is about $8,880. Sean plans to save money each month for the next 2 years to help pay for his first year. If his parents plan to contribute $6,000 toward his first year, what is the minimum about Sean must save each month to have enough money to pay for his first year of tuition?
To find the minimum amount Sean must save each month, we need to determine how much money he still needs to save after his parents' contribution.
The total cost of tuition is $8,880 and his parents are contributing $6,000. So Sean still needs to save $8,880 - $6,000 = $<<8880-6000=2880>>2,880.
Sean plans to save money each month for 2 years, which is a total of 2 * 12 = <<2*12=24>>24 months.
Therefore, Sean needs to save $2,880 รท 24 = $<<2880/24=120>>120 per month. Answer: \boxed{120}.
