Answer:

The cost of the attending college in second year is $6593.2 .

Option (C) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Aneesha determined that the cost of attending her public four-year college in her first year will be $6,220.

If the average cost is expected to increase by 6% .

6% is written in the decimal form

[tex]= \frac{6}{100}[/tex]

= 0.06

Increase amount in second year = 0.06 × Cost of attending college in first year .

                                                        = 0.06 ×  $6220

                                                        = $ 373.2

Thus

Cost of attending college in second year = Cost of attending college in first year + Increase amount in second year .

Put all the values in the above

Cost of attending college in second year = $6220 +  $ 373.2

                                                                     = $ 6593.2

Therefore the cost of the attending college in second year is $6593.2 .

Option (C) is correct .
