2. SUPPOSE THAT YOU BORROW $2500 PER YEAR TO ATTEND A 4-YEAR COLLEGE. ASSUME THAT YOU DO NOT PAY BACK ANY OF THE LOAN UNTIL AFTER GRADUATION AND THAT NO INTEREST IS DUE ON THE LOAN DURING THE TIME YOU ARE IN SCHOOL.

6. EX: USING MULTIPLICATION IN REAL LIFE After a recent flood, a store owner sells 294 cans of green beans at a reduced price because their labels were ruined. Because the price the store originally paid for the beans is more than the reduced price, the store loses $0.12 on each can of green beans sold. How much will the store lose if it sells 294 cans of beans?
