Your going need to add the cost of the fee should give you $20500 then subtract Lonnie's contribute which would be$15,000. and would give $5249 that Lonnie need

Mimi · Answer 2

First find out the total cost for the year:

12000+7500+500+250=$20250

Now we can find the amount Lonnie needs to pay/earn after her parent's contributions:

20250-15000=$5250

Lonnie will need to earn/borrow $5250
