Question

assume you spend $3,500 a year for the first two years attending a junior college and then you spend $6,00 a year for the remaining two years at the local college. your friend spends $5,000 a year for four years at another local school. compare the costs of both options.

Answer 1

Are you just comparing?

Answer 2

Because $5000 x 4 =$20,000
and
$3,500 x 2 = $7,000
and
$6,000 x 2 = $12,000

Doing simple math, you'd get a total of 19,000 dollars.

So you would be spending 1,000 dollars less than your friend.
