Accepted Solution

A:
43800 for first year. + boarding 4132
Parents give him equal amounts for the 4 years of college from what they saved.
84,000 divided by 4 years is 21,000
the scholarship is for his first year only.
47932-21000(from parents)-8000(from scholarship)-5000(from grandma)
26932-8000=
18932-5000=13932
