To determine the total amount Montrel should expect to pay for one year at the public two-year college, we need to sum up the individual expenses he expects to incur. The expenses are listed as follows:
1. Tuition: \[tex]$3,220
2. Room/Board: \$[/tex]7,650
3. Transportation: \[tex]$1,895
4. Books/Lab Fees: \$[/tex]875
We will add these amounts together step by step:
1. First, add the expenses for tuition and room/board:
[tex]\[
3220 + 7650 = 10870
\][/tex]
2. Next, add the expense for transportation to the sum:
[tex]\[
10870 + 1895 = 12765
\][/tex]
3. Finally, add the expense for books/lab fees to the latest sum:
[tex]\[
12765 + 875 = 13640
\][/tex]
So, the total amount Montrel should expect to pay for one year at the college is \[tex]$13,640.00.
Therefore, the correct amount he should expect to pay is:
\[
\$[/tex]13,640.00
\]
