Solution:
Given that,
Neil decides to go to a technical college for 18 months to get a degree in computer networking
Number of months = 18 months
There are 6 school quarters in the program with a tuition of $530 each
Thus there are 6 quarters
For one quarter, tuition fee is $ 530
For 6 school quarters, tuition fee is given
[tex]\rightarrow 6 \times 530 = 3180[/tex]
Books for the entire program cost $1800
Total cost for degree = tuition cost + books cost
Total cost for degree = 3180 + 1800
Total cost for degree = 4980
Thus total cost for Neil degree is $ 4980
