The college you're going to costs $72,000 per year. In your first year, you will get 50% off in grants/awards. You will have to take the remaining 50% out in loans. You want to pay this loan amount back over the course of 10 years. Every year, you will have to pay 3.5% in interest on your original loan amount. How much will you have to pay back in total after 10 years of interest? (Principal + Interest = Final Answer)
72,000 divided by 2 = 36,000
Interest = 36,000 x 3.5% x 10
Interest = 36,000 x 0.035 x 10
Interest = 12,600
Final Answer: 12,600 (interest) + 36,000 (principal) = $48,600 total
