Respuesta :

Answer:

It should be C. 620

Step-by-step explanation:

Using proportions, it is found that Azul will need to save $155 per month for the next 4 years, and the correct option is B.

  • The total price of one year of tuition is $12,300, while his parents have saved $4,860.

Thus, the amount he has to save for the next 4 years is:

[tex]A = 12300 - 4860 = 7440[/tex]

  • 4 years have 48 months, thus, he has to save $7440 in 48 months, which means that the monthly amount is:

[tex]\frac{7440}{48} = 155[/tex]

And the correct option is:

B. Azul will need to save $155 per month for the next 4 years.
