Question

Jamal works part-time earning $8,000 per year. He reduces his work hours by half so that he can go to school. Jamal completes his degree after 3 semesters (1.5 years) at a cost of $1,400 per semester in tuition and $500 per semester in books. What was Jamal's investment in getting his degree?

Answer 1

1400 is pretty cheap for tuition

But his investment is how much he had to spend on tuition and books for the 3 semesters.
