    Answer: She would save $11,300 by choosing option A

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Community College Financial Analysis:

    Tuition and fees = 2900

    Scholarship and grant = 800

    Rooms and board = 1250

    University Financial Analysis:

    Tuition and fees = 9500

    Scholarship and grant = 10000

    Rooms and board = 11500

    Work study - 2000

    Option A:

    First two years at college : 2 * (2900 + 1250 - 800)

    2 * (3350) = $6700

    2 years at university : 2 * (9500 + 11500 - 2000 - 10000)

    2 * 9000 = 18000

    Option A total = $ (18,000 + 6700) = $24,700

    Option B:

    4 years at university : 4 * (9500 + 11500 - 2000 - 10000)

    4 * 9000 = $ 36000

    She would be saving $ (36,000 - 24,700) = $11,300 by choosing option A

    Callie's comparison of two options for college education

    The true statement is:

    She would save $11,300 by choosing option A.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Cost Analyses:

    Option A: Community College + University Total Expenses

    Tuition & Fees $5,800 ($2,900 x 2) + $19,000 ($9,500 x 2) = $24,800

    Scholarships ($1,600) ($800 x 2) + ($20,000) ($10,000 x 2) = ($21,600)

    Room & Board $2,500 ($1,250 x 2) + $23,000 ($11,500 x 2) = $25,500

    Work-Study + ($4,000) ($2,000 x 2) = ($4,000)

    Total Cost $6,700 + $18,000 = $24,700

    Option B: 4 years' University

    Tuition & Fees $38,000 ($9,500 x 4)

    Scholarships ($40,000) ($10,000 x 4)

    Room & Board $46,000 ($11,500 x 4)

    Work-Study ($8,000) ($2,000 x 4)

    Total Cost $36,000

    Difference between the two options = $11,300 ($36,000 - $24,700
