Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the cost of going to college, we add up the tuition, room and board, and book expenses: 
$20,000 + $10,000 + $2,000 = $32,000 
To find the cost of not going to college, we subtract the income earned from the expenses: 
$18,000 - $8,000 = $10,000 
Therefore, the cost of going to college is $32,000 - $10,000 = $22,000 more than not going to college. 
Therefore, the best choice is not clear-cut and depends on the potential benefits and drawbacks of attending college for Deborah.
