Betty Breton is deciding where to live during her second year in college. During her first year, she lived in the university residence. Recently, her friend Rachel asked her to share an off-campus apartment for the upcoming school year. Betty likes the idea of living in an apartment, but she is concerned about how much it will cost. To help her decide what to do, Betty collected information about costs. She would pay $515 per month in rent. The minimum lease term on the apartment is six months. Betty estimates that her share of the utility bills will be $95 per month, and she also estimates that groceries will cost $140 per month. Betty spent $345 on a new couch over the summer, and if she lives in the residence she will put the couch in storage at a cost of $30 per month. Betty expects to spend $7,400 on tuition for the year and $330 on books each semester. Room and board at the residence would cost Betty $3,200 per semester (four months). This amount includes a food plan of 20 meals per week, and the cost is nonrefundable if the meals are not eaten.
