Answer :

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: \[ \$[/tex]13,640.00
\]
