During one year Saul takes 15 credit hours for each three quarters. Tuition and fees amount to $608 per credit hour. Textbooks average $420 per quarter. The prorated monthly cost for tuition and fees and textbooks is?

Total textbook cost of tuition fees per month will be $ 2,356 and 25 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the exercise, we will first define the total cost per quarter.

cost of 1 credit hour = $ 601

then we solve the following:

cost of 15 credit hours = $ 601 * 15 = $ 9015

textbooks = $ 410

then we solve the following:

total cost = 9015 + 410 = $ 9425

total cost for 3 quarters = 3 * $ 9425 = $ 28275 for 12 months

we calculate as follows

Total textbook cost of tuition fees per month will be

$ 28,275 / 12 = $ 2,356 and 25 cents
