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 can save $250 per month over two years, so the total amount he can save is 250 * 12 * 2 = $<<250*12*2=6000>>6000.
Therefore, his family will have to pay 9500 - 6000 = $<<9500-6000=3500>>3500. Answer: \boxed{3500}.
