  • Tara wants to attend a four-year college to become a math teacher. Which statements explain the possible differences in total yearly cost for attending a public college in state and public college out of state? Check all that apply. A public college out of state will have fewer transportation costs than a public college in state. A public in-state college charges less for in-state tuition than for out-of-state tuition. Books and fees will generally cost more at a private college than a public college. Tara will most likely have to pay room and board expenses at an out-of-state public college, but might be able to commute to a public college in state. All the extra fees besides tuition are different for in-state and out-of-state public colleges.

  • It started as a personal goal. Molly decided to stay home with her kids rather than work outside of the home, and she felt she needed to be very efficient and mindful in the food she prepared for her family. She shopped sales, and put together weekly meal plans that were nutritious and affordable. After several months, several of her neighbors who still worked outside of the home asked if Molly would take care of their shopping and meal planning in exchange for payment.
