Answer:

Explanation:

She will choose option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A : 2 Years in Community college and 2 years in University

Option B : 4 Years in University

Per year cost in Community college = $2900 + $800 +$1250 = $4950

Per year cost for University = $9500+$10000 + $11500 + 2000 = $32000

Total cost for 4 years as per option A = 2 ( Community College) + 2(University)

                                                              = 2( $4950) + 2( $32000)

                                                               = $ 73900

Total cost for 4 years as per option B = 4(University)

                                                              = 4( $32000)

                                                               = $ 128000

Hence, she will choose option A due to minimum cost.
